F                     Am
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
     F7/C
From uptight, short-sighted,
 F7
narrow-minded hypocritics
A#                 C7
All I want is the truth
A#                 C7
Just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

Chorus:
D#
No short-haired yellow-bellied
son of Tricky Dicky's gonna mother hubbard
                                       C#
soft-soap me with just a pocketful of hope
           G#              A#
Money for dope, money for rope - x2

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending,
mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth, now

I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric,
paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth, now-now
Just give me some truth

Chorus:
No short-haired, yellow-bellied,
son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth now

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth, now

All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth, now
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth
