《The Wild Truth》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wild Truth - T Bone Burnett

[00:00:12] You never said it was a bed of roses

[00:00:15] But you never said it was a bed of nails

[00:00:18] You never told me 'bout the rubber hoses

[00:00:21] Or how unsteady on the justice scales

[00:00:23] I need the wild truth

[00:00:26] The wild truth

[00:00:29] The wild truth

[00:00:41] On the street there are a billion people

[00:00:44] They got no love they got no hope

[00:00:47] They got no youth they got no beauty

[00:00:50] They're looking backwards through a telescope

[00:00:52] They need the wild truth

[00:00:55] The wild truth

[00:00:58] The wild truth

[00:01:05] Whatever happened to the man walking down the street

[00:01:07] With his hands in his pockets whistling a tune

[00:01:11] Science fiction and nostalgia have become the same thing

[00:01:16] I don't know how to make any choices anymore I mean

[00:01:19] Who do I vote for

[00:01:21] I get the feeling that as soon as

[00:01:22] Something appears in the paper it ceases to be true

[00:01:28] I have to meet the man who can crack this world of justice

[00:01:31] Like a safe

[00:01:32] Someone with the courage to allow room for

[00:01:35] Good things to run wild

[00:01:39] Into the wild truth

[00:01:42] The wild truth

[00:01:45] The wild truth

[00:02:03] We don't need no voodoo stories

[00:02:06] From no magic president

[00:02:09] Who tries to make a dream a fait accompli

[00:02:12] By using phantoms for his evidence

[00:02:14] We need the wild truth

[00:02:17] The wild truth

[00:02:20] The wild truth

[00:02:32] I tell a hundred thousand lies that twist me

[00:02:35] Into the noise where I hide my sin

[00:02:38] My shame and scandal pull me down and kiss me

[00:02:41] I can't live a life that might have been

[00:02:43] I need the wild truth

[00:02:46] The wild truth

[00:02:49] The wild truth

[00:02:55] Are we supposed to take all this greed and fear and hatred

[00:02:58] Seriously It's like watching dust settle it never changes

[00:03:03] It's too consistent

[00:03:07] Mercy is not consistent it's like the wind

[00:03:10] It goes where it will

[00:03:12] Mercy is comic and it's the only

[00:03:14] Thing worth taking seriously

[00:03:18] I need the wild truth

[00:03:21] The wild truth

[00:03:24] I need the wild truth

[00:03:27] The wild truth
