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

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

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

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

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

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

The wild truth[00:00:26]

The wild truth[00:00:29]

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

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

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

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

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

The wild truth[00:00:55]

The wild truth[00:00:58]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Like a safe[00:01:31]

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

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

Into the wild truth[00:01:39]

The wild truth[00:01:42]

The wild truth[00:01:45]

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

From no magic president[00:02:06]

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

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

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

The wild truth[00:02:17]

The wild truth[00:02:20]

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

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

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

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

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

The wild truth[00:02:46]

The wild truth[00:02:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thing worth taking seriously[00:03:14]

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

The wild truth[00:03:21]

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

The wild truth[00:03:27]
