 You never said it was a bed of roses
E5
 But you never said it was a bed of nails
B5
 You never told me 'bout the rubber hoses
E5
 Or how unsteady were the justice scales
           A5      G5
I need the wild truth
    A5      G5
The wild truth

B5
 On the street there are a billion people
E5
 They got no love, they got no hope
B5
 They got no youth, they got no beauty
E5
 They're looking backwards through a telescope
               A5      G5
They need the wild truth
    A5      G5

B5              
Whatever happened to the man walking down the street
                      Ab5
With his hands in his pockets whistling a tune?
A5                                                   B5
 Science fiction and nostalgia have become the same thing
B5              
I don't know how to make any choices anymore, I mean,
Ab5                                            A5
 Who do I vote for?  I get the feeling that as soon as
                                               B5
Something appears in the paper it ceases to be true
B5
 I have to meet the man who can crack this world of justice
       Ab5                                     A5
Like a safe. Someone with the courage to allow room for
                   B5
Good things to run wild
         B5      A5
Into the wild truth

B5
 We don't need no voodoo stories
E5
 From no magic president
B5
 Who tries to make a dream a fait accompli
E5
 By using phantoms for his evidence
            A5      G5
We need the wild truth

B5
 I tell a hundred thousand lies that twist me
E5
 Into the noise where I hide my sin
B5
 My shame and scandal pull me down and kiss me
E5
 I can't live a life that might have been
           A5      G5
I need the wild truth

B5                                                    Ab5
 Are we supposed to take all this greed and fear and hatred seriously? 
                               A5                              B5
 It's like watching dust settle it never changes, it's too consistent
B5                                            Ab5
 Mercy is not consistent it's like the wind, it goes where it will. 
         A5                                           B5
Mercy is comic, and it's the only thing worth taking seriously
