(This next song, um)
(When we put it on the album, we really didn't know what it was about)
(And, uh, then we soon figured out exactly what it was about)
(And, uh, I think Rock the Vote is here tonight to register people to vote)
(We've joined up with them, 'cause we have learned that voting)
(Is a wonderful way to express your opinion)
(Nobody knows what you're doing behind that curtain)
(So, uh, here's a song all about, uh, freedom of speech)
(And speaking out and having a voice)
(Here's "Truth No. 2")
♪
You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well, baby, that might be so
I might get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I don't think that I'm afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down South
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you
Pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
This time when he swung the bat
And I found myself laying flat, I wondered
What a way to spend a dime
What a way to use the time, ain't it, baby
I looked at my reflection in the window walking past
And I saw a stranger
Just so scared all the time it makes me one more reason
Why the world's dangerous
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down South
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you
Pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
Yeah

You don't like the sound of the truth
Coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well, baby, that might be so
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what you're feeling in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
And always so far apart?
Whoa-oh
Swing me way down South
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you
Pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
Yeah
