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
