Leppard Def Truth Original Version Lyrics

Truth Original Version Lyrics

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
