lyrics

Chorus:
I'm only singing the truth
I'm only singing the truth
It's what I see as what I've got to do
I'm only singing the truth
I'm only singing the truth
If you don't like it then the problem here is you

There was a rasta telecaster man
Who struck it like a bullet from the heart
He didn't come preaching from a masterplan
But sure as hell he showed us where to start
He said: "I'm not here to tell you who you are, now.
You can be just what you choose.
I'm not here to tell you what to think,
I'm here to tell you if you don't think then you lose."

Chorus

I read the gospel of the travellin' man
Who'd jump the train and hop from town to town
He'd hear the stories of the working man
And he would sing of what he found
He said: "This land of ours was built by many people,
You'll never find in a book.
I'm not trying to tell you what to see,
I'm trying to tell you that you need to take a look."

Chorus

I'm not singing at you now, I'm singing for you.
Cos I don't want you to forget
That tomorrow's promised out to no-one
And the future? Well it isn't over yet.

Chorus
