The Gimme Some Truth Songtext
von Pearl Jam

I′ve had enough of reading things
From neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes
From short-sighted, narrow-minded, mama′s little hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is gonna Mother-Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for rope
Corporate hoes


I've had enough of reading things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
I′ve had enough of hearing things
From schizophrenic egocentric mama′s little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Georgie Porgie
Is gonna Mother-Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for rope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Georgie Porgie
Is gonna Mother-Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
It's money for rope
Oh, corporate hoes


I′ve had enough of reading things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
All I want is the truth
I′ve had enough of reading things
From pig-headed, tight-lipped politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth

All I want is the truth
Just give us some truth
Just give us some truth
