Hateful

Too many people telling me what to do now
Too many people telling me how to live now
When we were young our hearts they would touch with fire
When we were young we knew only desire

So you think modern life is rubbish
It must be the company you keep
So you think you've found the modern holy
Is that your reflection I see?

When we were young our hearts they would touch with fire
When we were young we knew only desire

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

Truth is always stranger
Always stranger
Stranger than fiction
Truth lies on the lips of a dying man
And that's no wager

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When we were young our hearts they would touch with fire
When we were young we knew only desire

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

Truth is always stranger
Always stranger
Stranger than fiction
Truth lies on the lips of a dying man
And that's no wager

The phrase "I am the lecturer, poet, individual"
Won't throw philosophy at me
Pseudo-personality coming out of my TV
Won't make a difference to me
Other people's notions, other people's lives
No one wants to tell you your head's in the sky
We're all in the gutter
Looking up at the sky

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