Time - Truth Be Told
Truth be told, without it you would bury me
Truth be told I think life is a scary dream
Truth be told they lied about the cherry tree
Truth be told the founding fathers were pirates
Truth be told they stole the land with violence
Truth be told it still hasn't stopped
Truth be told from Palestine to Standing Rock
Truth be told the slave patrols became cops
Truth be told white supremacy should rot
Truth be told they keep building more prisons
Truth be told they legislate with religion
Truth be told they hate freedom and autonomy
Truth be told they want to control women bodily
Truth be told protect trans lives
Truth be told colonizers lie
Truth be told no settler futures
Truth be told tell the truth they'll shoot ya
Truth be told read Klee Benally
Truth be told there's informants at the rally
Truth be told they're militarizing the border
Truth be told capitalism is a hoarder
Truth be told they got trillions for war
Truth be told they'll sweep your tent if you're poor
Truth be told abolish the jails
Truth be told you're data's for sale
Truth be told we're in a climate catastrophe
Truth be told give the land back actually
Truth be told every city is ableist
Truth be told I'm an artist not a fatalist
Truth be told they'll give you liquor not books
Truth be told read bell hooks
