Tell The Truth

Chorus

Tell me how you want me to live

I’m confused by this delusion 

So blind that we can’t admit it

Tell me how you want me to cry

Cause I’m seeing all these people 

Die before my eyes 

Verse 1

People - Let’s get it together 

Gotta learn whats right and wrong                      

Now more than ever - Don’t take the bait 

(don’t take the bait)

That they’ve thrown

Because we’ve all become

slaves to our phones 

My disposition 

It ain’t even mine

I’m just guided by what’s  put in front of 

my eyes so

Chorus

Tell me how you want me to live

I’m confused by this delusion 

So blind that we can’t admit it

Tell me how you want me to cry

Cause I ain’t got no more tears 

After the years of sacrifice 

Verse 2

People - let’s get it together

Too many folks are struggling 

Just to run from the weather - Cause the worlds on fire

And the tides are rising

But the weathermen you listen to

Are only paid advertisers

Pre-Chorus

My disposition 

It ain’t even mine

It’s just guided by 

What they put in front of my eyes (so don’t tell me tell me)

Chorus

(Don’t) Tell me how you want me to live

I’m confused by this delusion 

So blind that we can’t admit it

Don’t tell me how you want me to cry

I’ll keep fighting this illusion

Till the day I die 

Bridge

But it ain’t enough (ain’t enough)

If we don’t fight we just give up cause it aint enough (ain’t enough)

Standing tall and being tough is good, but it ain’t enough (ain’t enough) 

We gotta make our point get through

So the least I can do

Is just be myself and tell the truth

Out

The rich get rich and the poor get poor

So I’m gonna grab my guitar, walk out this here door, and tell the truth!
