A Few Honest Words
If you’re going to lead my country,
If you’re gonna say it’s free
I’m gonna need
a little honestyJust a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I needI don’t need no handshake
No firm look in the eye
Don’t tell me what you think I,
I ought to hearI don’t need no high life
No fancy premiers
Just tell me what you really think
Without fearJust a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I needLove is a bitter food
You’ve learned to eat
You still don’t know, oh,
Where it growsAnd our love of freedom
Holds a veil over our eyes
Rights that are given
Can be taken awayJust a few honest words
It shouldn’t be that hard
Just a few honest words
Is all I needWe don’t choose our leaders
The choose themselves
Tell me again
