The Truth - Swingin Hammers

We give value to the few

Never mind the many

Undermine the truth of life

Dollars are for you

While we take away their pennies

We take drugs to help us sleep at night

But I’m tired of playing games

Tired of taking chances with the blood that’s in my veins

I think I’m jumpin' fences

If I say an unborn child deserves to live, you’ll say I’m senseless

If I say the refugee deserves to stay, you’ll call me a fool

If I call you out like this, you’ll only hate me more

But it only takes two eyes to see the truth

«Lord, who is my neighbor?»

The man asked Christ the King

I think he knew the answer and so do you

Can’t you see their hearts?

Can’t you see their heartbeat?

Their value does not hang on your view

But I’m so tired of playing games

Tired of taking chances with the blood that’s in their veins

I think I’m jumpin' fences

If I say an unborn child deserves to live, you’ll say I’m senseless

If I say the refugee deserves to stay, you’ll call me a fool

But I cannot sit and tell you that everything is fine

It only takes a spine to tell the truth

If I say that your child deserves to live, you’ll say I’m just Christian

If I say the refugees just need some help, you’ll say I’m not right

But the house is burning down, there’s only one way to quench it

Love your neighbor as yourself

Oh, I cannot help but tell the truth

Though you give me hell, I’ll tell the truth
