Before you judge me
try hard to love me
look deep in your heart
then ask
have you seen my childhood?
No sense pretending it's over
HARD TIMES JUST DON'T GO AWAY
you gotta take that chip off your shoulder
it's time you open up have some faith
NOTHING GOOD EVER COMES EASY
ALL GOOD THINGS COME IN DUE TIME
yes it does
you gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open your mind
Gotta put your heart on the line
if you wanna make it right
you got to reach out and try
gotta put your heart on the line
if you wanna get it right
gotta put it all on the line It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT, read it
And you don't have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves
JUST BECAUSE YOU READ IT IN MAGAZINE
OR SEE IT ON THE TV SCREEN
DON'T MAKE IT FACTUAL
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual...
