Why don't you tell me what's behind the green door

Why don't you tell me, 'cause I heard it all before

You know the answers, got 'em under lock and key

So why don't you tell me, end this misery



You're a dagger in my side, stripped of all my pride

I listen at you lie

Gonna raise my hand, it's time to make a stand

A voice across the land

Demands



Why don't you tell me the truth

Why don't you tell me the truth



Why don't you tell me, you got things to say

Why don't you do it, gonna throw it all away

Why don't you hear me, when I shout it out so loud

How do you sleep at night with your head up in the clouds



You're the devil in disguise, I'm sick of all your lies

Your hints and alibi's

Gonna raise my hand, it's time to take a stand

A voice across the land

Demands



Why don't you tell me the truth

So I can say I've got a question

Now listen



Can you tell me what the hell is happening

Why the sky is falling

And the heart is calling

And the youth is stalling

And it's over and over again



Come on, come on, come on

You gotta tell me the truth

You don't listen, do ya

The left hand gives

And the right hand takes away

That's the law of the jungle

But you have to learn to play



Why don't you tell me the truth

You better tell me the truth

Come on, why don't you tell me the truth

You gotta tell me the truth



You try with all your might

You never get it right

Can't see the morning light

Was never in your sight



Just like the truth
