Speak The Truth

Hey young man lend me your ears

Ive got a few pearls to give away

If you wanna change the world, youre goin bout it wrong

It all starts with meaning what you say

Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple

Say it loud and say it whenever you can

Oh youre bound to be a lousy politician

But at least youll be a decent man

One day soon your time will come

Be ready when you get the call

State your name and tell it like it is

Youll never fly if youre afraid to fall

Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple

Say it loud and say it whenever you can

Oh youll never be a sought after attorney

But at least youll be a decent man

Its a worlds full of liars a world full of thieves

And money makes them all go crazy

So keep your eyes wide open stay fixed upon the prize

And if it all starts gettin hazy

Remember what your Daddy says

Speak the truth but keep it short and keep it simple

Say it loud and say it whenever you can

Oh youll never be a salesman of the year

But at least youll be a decent man

But at least youll be a decent man
