Gimme Some Truth Lyrics

Cover art for Gimme Some Truth lyrics by John Lennon

I think if John Lennon were alive today he would change two words as follows:

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from Uptight short sided narrow minded hypocritics All I want is the truth, just give me some truth I've had enough of reading things By neurotic psychotic pigheaded politicians All I want is the truth, just give me some truth

No yellow-haired, pot-bellied Son of tricky dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocket full of hopes Money for dope, money for rope

No yellow-haired, pot-bellied, Son of tricky dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocket full of hopes Money for dope, money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things from Tight-lipped condescending mama's little chauvinists All I want is the truth, just give me some truth I've had enough of watching scenes from Schizophrenic egocentric paranoiac primadonnas All I want is the truth just give me some truth

No yellow-haired, pot-bellied, Son of tricky dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me With just a pocket full of hopes It's money for dope, money for rope

I'm sick to death of hearing things from Uptight short sided narrow minded hypocritics All I want is the truth, just give me some truth I've had enough of reading things By neurotic psychotic pigheaded politicians All I want is the truth, just give me some truth All I want is the truth, just give me some truth All I want is the truth, just give me some truth
