about

So my new management consultant, Colin suggested i do a cover of John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth” as a stand-alone single.

It was an incredibly timely choice. We’ve been swimming upstream against the torrents of one of the most prolific liars in history, and suffice to say – all of us are ready for some truth.

This is my first attempt at releasing a single, video and editorial piece all of the same name on the same day.

You can see the video at youtu.be/1eKogcUX5Tg

and the written editorial piece is up on Medium at xxx.

lyrics

I'm sick and tired of hearing things,
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites,
All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

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

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Don the Con is
Gonna mother hubbard, soft soap me with just a pocket full of hope,
Money for dope,
Money for rope.

I'm sick to death of seeing things,
By tight-lipped, condescending, mommy's little chauvinists,
All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

I've had enough of watching scenes,
Of schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoia prima donnas,
All I want is the truth,
Just give us the truth,

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Don the Con is
Gonna mother hubbard, soft soap me with just a pocket full of hope,
Money for dope,
Money for rope.

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

I've had enough of reading things,
By neurotic psychotic, homophobic hypocrites,
All I want is the truth,
Just give us the truth,

All we want is the truth,
Just give us the truth,
