Lời bài hát
0:12You never said it was a bed of roses
0:15But you never said it was a bed of nails
0:18You never told me 'bout the rubber hoses
0:21Or how unsteady on the justice scales
0:23I need the wild truth
0:26The wild truth
0:29The wild truth
0:41On the street there are a billion people
0:44They got no love they got no hope
0:47They got no youth they got no beauty
0:50They're looking backwards through a telescope
0:52They need the wild truth
0:55The wild truth
0:58The wild truth
1:05Whatever happened to the man walking down the street
1:07With his hands in his pockets whistling a tune
1:11Science fiction and nostalgia have become the same thing
1:16I don't know how to make any choices anymore I mean
1:19Who do I vote for
1:21I get the feeling that as soon as
1:22Something appears in the paper it ceases to be true
1:28I have to meet the man who can crack this world of justice
1:31Like a safe
1:32Someone with the courage to allow room for
1:35Good things to run wild
1:39Into the wild truth
1:42The wild truth
1:45The wild truth
2:03We don't need no voodoo stories
2:06From no magic president
2:09Who tries to make a dream a fait accompli
2:12By using phantoms for his evidence
2:14We need the wild truth
2:17The wild truth
2:20The wild truth
2:32I tell a hundred thousand lies that twist me
2:35Into the noise where I hide my sin
2:38My shame and scandal pull me down and kiss me
2:41I can't live a life that might have been
2:43I need the wild truth
2:46The wild truth
2:49The wild truth
2:55Are we supposed to take all this greed and fear and hatred
2:58Seriously It's like watching dust settle it never changes
3:03It's too consistent
3:07Mercy is not consistent it's like the wind
3:10It goes where it will
3:12Mercy is comic and it's the only
3:14Thing worth taking seriously
3:18I need the wild truth
3:21The wild truth
3:24I need the wild truth
3:27The wild truth
