lyrics

TRUTH BE TOLD

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES

VERSE
DAILY PROPAGANDA ON THE TV SCREEN
ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT FOR ME AND YOU
SAME THING IN THE PAPERS AND THE MAGAZINES
WE KNOW THAT BARELY NONE OF IT IS TRUE

SELL US EDUCATION SELL OUT OUR HEATLH
FAT CATS GETTING RICHER ALL THE TIME
FIVE PERCENT OF PEOPLE 95 PERCENT OF WEALTH
IS NOTHING LESS THAN LEGALISED CRIME

CHORUS
IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES
IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

SELL THE REBELS WEAPONS TO START ANOTHER WAR
ARMS TRADE DEALERS GOT TO HAVE THEIR FUN
TODAY’S FRIENDLY REBEL IS TOMORROW’S TERROR THREAT
DON’T WORRY THEY CAN MOBILISE OUR SONS

WE’RE GOVERNED BY AGENDA OF A BILDEBERG MEMBER
LEFT AND RIGHT HAVE BOTH BECOME THE SAME
CAPITALIST AESTHETIC IS A SOCIAL AN AESTHETIC
WHILE THE INNOCENT ARE TORTURED IN OUR NAME

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES
IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD WE ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES

THE BBC WMD
MI5 SURVEILLANCE AND SPIES
CHILD ABUSE FREEMASONS FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS
AND LOOK ABOVE WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE SKIES

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES
IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

UNCOVERING CORRPUTION IS A DANGEROUS GAME
PSYCHO POWER KILLERS WANT YOU DEAD
YOU COULD END UP SUICIDING IN A WOOD
OR MAYBE JUST A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD

THEY HAVE TO SERVE THE BLOODLINE
HAVE TO PROTECT THE WEALTH
TO QUESTION THEM WILL SOON BECOME A CRIME
DECEPTION, CAMERAS, DRONES,
GET OFF YOUR MOBILE PHONES
IT’S TIME FOR YOU JOIN THE BATTLE LINES

CHORUS

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT LIES

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD WE ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD
FED UP WITH THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
DONT LISTEN TO THE GOVERNMENT LIES
IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD IT MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
FED UP WITH THE GOVERNMENT LIES
IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WE ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD
DON’T LISTEN TO THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD WE ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD
WHEN I HEAR THE GOVERNMENT LIES

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD WHEN WILL THE TRUTH BE TOLD
ALL WE GET ARE GOVERNMENT LIES
