"Honest Answers" as written by and Bill Withers....
I'll try to shed some common sense, situation so intense
Many questions, don't know whys & all the lies got tempers risin'
There's 2 or 3 sides to it all, but just one truth if I recall
Looking to & thinking through, the word of God infinite, true
If you want honest answers, I know you do, so say it's true
We all want honest answers, something true, it's nothing new
You're threatened by what you don't understand, and it's time
Give up yourself, why won't you stop facading? This wicked world
So set in the ways, you've been taught day after day
This nations brainwashed, without a clue, still they know not what they do
I can't cast the stone, cause I've got problems of my own
But I'm discussing, being real, this just the way I feel
Many questions, don't know whys & all the lies got tempers risin'
There's 2 or 3 sides to it all, but just one truth if I recall
Looking to & thinking through, the word of God infinite, true
If you want honest answers, I know you do, so say it's true
We all want honest answers, something true, it's nothing new
You're threatened by what you don't understand, and it's time
Give up yourself, why won't you stop facading? This wicked world
So set in the ways, you've been taught day after day
This nations brainwashed, without a clue, still they know not what they do
I can't cast the stone, cause I've got problems of my own
But I'm discussing, being real, this just the way I feel

alrite, i can see the meaning in these lines and this song and i totally agree with Christalena (another kickass mxpx song btw) but besides that, this is prolly one of the catchiest lines melodically on all of Let It Happen..IMO
