Gimme the Truth 2

I need to know just what is meant
By the folks in government
Won't you tell me what to believe
When I hear them telling me:

"I am the best, I am so great"
Show me how they really rate
Cause I need to know who is a hack
Won't you tell me PolitiFact?
(PolitiFact…PolitiFact)


Gimme the Truth
Show me who lies
Cause you can see it in my eyes
I need some proof
To help me divine facts that are hidden from sunshine

Gimme The Truth (3X)

I get upset, I get so blue
When I don't know what is true
How do they spend, all of my cash?
It's all gone in just a flash

When they proclaim they're on my side
Tell me is it just a lie?
Cause I need to know who is a hack
