Truth Hits Everybody Lyrics
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
There you are for me
Won't you ever see?
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh!
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Won't you ever see?
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everyone
Oh!

I have a bootleg with a slow version of this song. Does anyone know more about that version, when it was recorded and was it released?
@FridayChild I know this is near 2 decades late but that's actually a B-side to one of their later singles, IIRC. I believe it's just a session recording, not sure from my memory

But if you wanna hear the Police in a more serious mood, contemplate the irresistible 'Truth Hits Everybody', the rocker to end all rockers - I don't really know how many fast rockers I've seen on MTV have modeled themselves after the 'punch' of this song and failed. 'Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone' - simple as that, but don't forget the little bit of negligent 'whoah-whoah' vocal harmony in the chorus, it's delicious little details like that which make the grade! As well as the solemn toll of the bell - whose idea was that? [George Starostin]
This song is damn catchy. I love it.
strange waking dreams... stepped outside myself... my new toy, it'll blow your head in two...
Pretty sure his new toy was LSD
@Curandero That's the question that the song doesn't answer. "Take a look at my new toy" which is... what? No idea why you jump to "acid" as the answer here. Based on what?
