"Truth On My Side"


Verse 1:

Well I guess you got your friend
Some friend to take me down
Was it getting on your nerves
Just knowing I'm around
It wasn't enough, it's never
Enough for you to merely be unkind
But turning the screw, here if I were you
Might be a hobby not to find

Chorus:

'Cause I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried
Bearing down is easy, just a word and 
Watch your little house divide

Verse 2:

I've got a little secret
Others will concur
Some people are too stupid
As you thought they were
Including of course, the one you were
Rest assured would never make a stand
But battles get lost, when one extra push
Is all you need to tip your hand

Chorus:

'Cause I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried
Bearing down is easy, just a word and 
Watch your little house divide

Bridge:

You better pray, the lies you have going
Can keep from owing much more than you do
'Cause the debt just gets bigger
And one day I figure
Someone will be calling it due

Verse 4:
And I will admit, I'd like to commit to
Tearing down [the wall] I see
But why raise a hand, when I know the 
End is coming soon enough with-out me

Chorus:

'Cause I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried
Bearing down is easy, just a word and 
Watch your little house divide
