I can sing no love songs ‘bout how wonderful life could be

In a few fashioned years of teenage revelry.

I can sing no lullabyes to the children of a wealthy world.

Too many lie abandoned, frightened and ignored

I don’t deceive or tell you lies, look around with your own eyes.

I can sing no praises about anytime in history,

It seems no one ever learned the Truth would set them free.

I can sing no anthems for any nation in the war,

They never have reason about what the war is for.

I won’t pretend, or put on an act. I sing about Truth and that’s a fact.

I can sing no love songs, though I know you want me to.

I can sing no love songs, ‘cause the one you’re expectin’

Baby it just ain’t true.

I can sing no whispers of moonlit starry nights,

More like smog-filled reflections of the undying city lights.

I can't sing you softly to fall into my arms,

That was all yesterday when youth still had it’s charms.

I ain’t playin’ don’t feel like a dance, or hidin’ sex behind ‘romance.’

I can sing no love songs, though I know you want me to.

I can sing no love songs, ‘cause the one you’re expectin’

Baby it just ain’t true.
