The Truth - The Holdup

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
