Peter Case - Somebody Told The Truth lyrics

Case The courthouse emptied out The jurors all went home The lawyers eased their guilty hearts The cops were on their own The soldiers left their camps The weapons lay in heaps The generals disappeared The prisoners were freed Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth The theaters emptied out The radios went dead The stadiums were silent And not a word was said The dots were all connected The lines were barely drawn The secrets night kept hidden Were left out in the dawn Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth The starving men and women For once received their fill The children of the highway Were singin' on the hill The politicians vanished They must have caught their plane The clandestine policeman Stared out in the rain I sat down on the curbstone I rubbed my eyes and coughed I rubbed my wrists and ankles And I thanked the lord above Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth Somebody, somebody told They told the truth to somebody Somebody told the truth
