by John Lennon I'm sick & tired of hearing things From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded All I want is the truth Just give me some truth I've had enough of reading things By neurotic, psychotic pig-headed politicians All I want is the truth Just give me some truth No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bundle of hope It's money for dope Money for rope No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap It's money for dope Money for rope I'm sick to death of seeing things From tight-lipped, condescending, mother's little chauvinists All I want is the truth Just give me some truth I've had enough of watching scenes With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima donnas All I want is the truth Just give me some truth No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap It's money for dope Money for rope Repeat 1st & 2nd verses
