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
