"Gimme some truth"

[RevolutionaryActs]

Gimme Some Truth written by John Lennon and redid by some peoples. :)


I'm sick and tired of hearing things
from uptight-short sighted - narrow minded hypocrytics,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

I've had enough of reading things
by neurotic - psychotic-pig headed politicians,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

No short haired - yellow bellied
son of tricky dicky,
Is gonna mother hubbard,
Soft soap me,
With just a pocketful of hope,
Money for dope,
Money for rope,

I'm sick to death of seeing things
from tight liped - condecending -
mommies little chauvanists,

All I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,

I've had enough watching scenes of
schizophrenic - ego - centric - paranoic -
prima - donnas,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth.

5. You want some truth?

"What women want and what they say they want are two entirely different things"

[ryban]

7. I second that: It's Lennon from Imagine

<snip>

In "Gimme Some Truth" Lennon launches into a similar tirade (again accompanied by Harrison's vicious slide guitar) -- this time against nameless hypocrites, bigots, "pig-headed politicians," and "paranoic prima-donnas" everywhere. A gripping riff and a non-stop torrent of assonance and alliteration add up to an electrifying performance; nonetheless, to Rolling Stone's Ben Gerson, "Gimme Some Truth," together with "How Do You Sleep?," raised a disturbing question: "I fear that John sees himself in the role of the truth-teller, and as such can justify any kind of self-indulgent brutality in the name of truth." Lennon's next album would prove Gerson woefully correct.
