Beat Around The Bush
To be perfectly honest with you
It is the ugly truth
The truth is hard to swallow
To tell you the truth
Should I sugar-coat it?
Should I fluff it up?
Should I put a spin on it?
Should I bribe you with gifts?
Should I use gorilla sales tactics?
Should I be diplomatic?
Should I give hints and
innuendos?
Should I buy you a beer?
Should I make it sexy?
Should I be a passive patsy?
Should I be a house boy?
Should I entertain you?
Should I fork my eyes out?
Should I tell you lies?
Or should I, god forbid
To tell it like it is?
Lies cannot remain covered
The truth is not covert
What's simple is what's true
What's simple is profound
What's profound is profane to you
You say the truth is harsh
Then lie in the grave, cause
life is harsh
Getting paid to kill for god is
harsh
Capitalism in the shape of war
is harsh
Propaganda and fakery on TV is
harsh
Corporations owning water and
seeds is harsh
Your anger cause I won't lie to
you, is harsh
