Lyrics The Truth - The Holdup

The Truth

I never read the newspaper
I barely believe what I see right here
Trying to keep the lies out of my mind
I never bother with cable
I guess I’ll miss all the bullshit this year
If I’m being honest that’s just fine
Won’t someone tell me the god damned truth
‘Cause all these people talking got no proof
If they don’t wanna keep it straight up
Alright fasho then, I guess I won’t have a clue
Tell me what the difference is
How do I know who’s really down
Tell me what it looks like when they’re lying
They try to make it simplistic
No shades of gray to figure out
It doesn’t even look like they’ve been trying
Won’t someone tell me the god damned truth
‘Cause all these people talking got no proof
If they don’t wanna keep it straight up
Alright fasho then, I guess I won’t have a clue
So they fight, they fight and don’t know which is right
See it on the news when you’re getting home at night
Who’s wrong, wrong, a broken record song
Why can’t we admit that we don’t know and move along
‘Cause I can’t even have a conversation
Please don’t bring up politics and just stick to the basics
You don’t have the facts and I don’t think I have the patience
Every source of information that we have is tainted
Aside from the facts, opinions are broad
And that’s just some shit you can’t argue
I’d like to be right but it’s not looking good
And I don’t wanna play the fool
Won’t someone tell me the god damned truth
‘Cause all these people talking got no proof
If they don’t wanna keep it straight up
Alright fasho then, I guess I won’t have a clue
