Gimme Some Truth

This song makes me want to stand in the middle of a crowd and just scream the lyrics. JUST GIMME SOME TRUTH

It is an absolutely fantastic protest song. I find most of Lennon's work is now apt in the time we're living in, what with polititians living rich and proud in their offices while soldiers are out in Iraq fighing an unjust cause. Very moving.

you;re right. with all the beheadings and the government lying to us it drives me insane.but in a way i think maybe I'M better off not knowing the truth its hard enough to sleep at night, My brothers in Iraq. Get bush out of office and Bring my Brother home!!!

there's nothing wrong with being liberal!

lets all just scream this song outloud today, seeing as Bush is going to be dictator AGAIN

All the adjectives he uses in this song makes it quite powerful. :p

He is saying that no one is saying anything that is meaningful or about life itself. Life is about saying the truth, the answer which is love. Politicians, journalists, artists, actors, etc. say nothing to help mankind.

I think this song talks about the government and he's sick of the authority lying to him

I think you'll find this song was john's protest against the American government who were attempting to stop his application for citizenship into the country. They were using his conviction for a drugs bust back in London as a means to stop him being granted a green card. The president at the time being Richard Nixon - well known as 'Tricky Dicky' This song in my opinion was a typical John Lennon, fed up with red tape and saying 'come on just give me an answer - can i come in or not? yes or no?

i LOVE this song.... i listened to my dads imagine album to listen to imagine, and this is the first song so i thought, heck, why not listen to it.... and now i LOVE this song.... :-D can i say that enough?

about Nixon "tricky dicky"
