Truth Drug Lyrics
Never believe in the bellicose talker
Pretending his cause to be just and strong
The onrushing torrent of words to convert
Entice me to follow along
Truth drug! Sell it to the bad boys
Making all of their noise, ringing in my ears
Truth drug! Give it to the bad guys
Don`t you know that their lies,
Are not allowed in here
The energy relays rhetorical speeches
The sugar sweet voice tells me this is the best
The durable quality lasts for a second
I fell for the scam like the rest
You think it`s funny, to make your money
By telling your lies.
Crawl back under your stone!
I got it wrong when you wrote me a letter
That said you would love me forever and ever
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind
Keeping respect for each other
Pretending his cause to be just and strong
The onrushing torrent of words to convert
Entice me to follow along
Making all of their noise, ringing in my ears
Truth drug! Give it to the bad guys
Don`t you know that their lies,
Are not allowed in here
The sugar sweet voice tells me this is the best
The durable quality lasts for a second
I fell for the scam like the rest
By telling your lies.
Crawl back under your stone!
That said you would love me forever and ever
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind
Keeping respect for each other

Ultimately, this track reflects on the complexities of human interaction, where the search for authenticity is often clouded by dishonesty. They encourage listeners to question the motives behind the words of those who speak confidently and to recognize the importance of honesty in relationships; They might be lying to your face. The song is a sharp critique of manipulation, both in society and personal interactions, and sends a powerful message about the necessity of genuine communication. The title of "truth drug" is possibly a metaphor for the potent allure of truth, even when it's wrapped in dishonest contexts.
Burke Shelly would further set this straight, saying how this song, as well as another song on the album 'Give Me the Truth' has a "concern for the lack of honesty/integrity in the world."
