Ben Sollee - A Few Honest Words lyrics

If you're going to lead my country, If you're gonna say it's free, I'm gonna need a little honesty Just a few honest words It shouldn't be that hard Just a few honest words is all I need I don't need no handshake No firm look in the eye Don't tell me what you think I, I ought to hear I don't need no high life No fancy premieres Just tell me what you really think without fear Just a few honest words It shouldn't be that hard Just a few honest words is all I need Love is a bitter fruit We've learned to eat But we still don't know, oh, where it grows And our love of freedom Holds a veil over our eyes Rights that are given can be taken away Just a few honest words It shouldn't be that hard Just a few honest words is all I need We don't choose our leaders They choose themselves Tell me again about democracy
