The Speckles - Tell 'Em The Truth Lyrics

Well you can take the fall, or blame somebody else
You can claim it all, or blame everybody else
But why can't we tell 'em the truth
Oh we can if we tell 'em the truth

We can help our neighbors, or we can help ourselves
We can love our neighbors, or we can hate ourselves
So why don't we tell 'em the truth
We can by tellin' them the truth

You can be sincere, or put on a phony smile
You can fight for them in prayer, or go dancin' down the aisles
So why don't we deal with the truth
It's time that we tell 'em the truth

Well you can come to grips in love, or sing a shallow song
You can die a martyr's death, or die for what is wrong
But I'd rather die living the truth
Yes I'd better start living the truth
