The Whole Truth Lyrics - Henry Rollins

Hello! say what? oh yeah? too much. 

What's new? what's up? I here you're messed up, in trouble, in pain 

No need to explain - expectation let you down 

See yourself inside - when it gets real do you hide? 

Can you face them or do they chase you down 

How it could be and how it is - what it should be and what it is 

Just another version of the big fat truth 

Mind the gap, see the distance - it's the blueprint of resistance 

Try to get your point across and it gets knocked back 

Confrontation - static 

Intimidation - panic 

Eye to eye and wall to wall 

Can you see what's here? does it fill you with fear? 

Can you keep your distance from what you hate? 

Unbelievable, unreal, too shocked to feel 

Look out! mind the gap! 

The truth ain't nothin' but the truth 

Oh no! you don't say! they don't see it your way? 

In the dark everyone was just like you 

Now you're mad, uptight because the world's not right 

You don't think and it makes you sad 

Attitude affected, your way - rejected 

Stupidity to get you through 

Check out the gap that's all around you 

Try to get close, it astounds you 

How these people can be so relentlessly cold 

Too easy, so blind. too tough to be kind 

Man, you're like some guy in a comic book 

Get real, pull your head out 

Get up, and get the lead out 

Man, I know you can do better than that 

Yeah you could stay away from arms length away from life 

But it takes strength to get up close and go all the way live 

Bridge the gap, take the first step 

The more you go, the more you get 

Down with the program and on with the show
