lyrics

TRUTH

There's a rattlin' in my bones
Shaken from an earth of crumbling tombstones
God's children crushed by war
A rich man's fight is won by the poor
A rich man's fight is fought by the poor

Outnumbered by mindless thugs
Ashamed of those days when I bit my tongue
Til all I could taste is blood
Bite down hard and let it spill out
Bite down hard until it spills out

You can't hide the truth for long
The silver moon nor the burnin' sun
You can't hide the truth for long
With my last breath I'll be singin' this song
You can't hide the truth for long

Up from the ashes of Dylan's ashtray
They booed and they hissed at the way that he played
But he still had something to say
If Pete chops the chords, we're gonna get in is his face
If Pete chops the wires, we're gonna put him in his place

You can't hide the truth for long
The silver moon nor the burnin' sun
You can't hide the truth for long
With my last breath I'll be singin' this song
'Cause you can't hide the truth for long
