Kerry JK - The Truth Hurts the Teller Lyrics




You know everybody's motivation
So much better than you know your own
Preaching from a pedestal of Common Sense
The only sense that you've ever known
You know all about psychology
Because you watched Derren Brown and flipped a magazine
Now you think that you're better than everyone

You're such a great judge of character
You know me so well
All that smug condescension can't be good for your health
You think you've seen through the way I present
But I'm not trying to be convincing
I just want to be myself

If you want to fight for the side that's right
You might not like what you see when you shine that light
Because the truth hurts, the truth hurts
Beating out self-righteous words
Ought to be careful where you wave that sword
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
Because the truth hurts the teller
As well as the told

No truth is self-evident
Whether by reason or religious zeal
You're just looking for a dragon to fight
Don't you just love the way that it feels?
It's a Highlander mentality"There can be only one!
You should all listen to me!"
But you're really no different from anyone

Maybe you're wrong, maybe you're right
You might not even know for sure when the end's in sight
Before you go marching on another crusade
Try not to think about the mess
That your hero complex has made

If you want to fight for the side that's right
You might not like what you see when you shine that light
Because the truth hurts
Don't you know that the truth hurts
Beating out self-righteous words
Ought to be careful where you point that sword
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
Because the truth hurts the teller
As well as the told

Go forth and raise a mighty army
Such a mighty army
Such a huge army
You're gonna raise a mighty army
Such a mighty army
You and whose army?

If you want to fight for the side that's right
You might not like what you see when you shine that light
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
The truth hurts the teller as well as the told
Beating out self-righteous words
Ought to be careful where you stick that sword
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
The truth hurts the teller as well as the told

If you want to fight for the side that's right
You might not like what you see when you shine that light
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
The truth hurts the teller as well as the told
Beating out self-righteous words
Ought to be careful where you poke that sword
Weave yourself a blanket to keep out the cold
The truth hurts the teller as well as the told

Go forth and raise a mighty army
Such a mighty army
Such a huge army
You're gonna raise a mighty army
Such a mighty army
You and whose army?
