A Few Honest Words Lyrics
If you’re going to lead my country,
If you’re gonna say it’s free
I’m gonna need
a little honesty
Just a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
I don’t need no handshake
No firm look in the eye
Don't tell me what you think I,
I ought to hear
I don’t need no high life
No fancy premiers
Just tell me what you really think
Without fear
Just a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
Love is a bitter food
You’ve learned to eat
You still don’t know, oh,
Where it grows
And our love of freedom
Holds a veil over our eyes
Rights that are given
Can be taken away
Just a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
We don’t choose our leaders
The choose themselves
Tell me again
About democracy
If you’re gonna say it’s free
I’m gonna need
a little honesty
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
No firm look in the eye
Don't tell me what you think I,
I ought to hear
No fancy premiers
Just tell me what you really think
Without fear
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
You’ve learned to eat
You still don’t know, oh,
Where it grows
Holds a veil over our eyes
Rights that are given
Can be taken away
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I need
The choose themselves
Tell me again
