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 premiers 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 food You've learned to eat You 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 The choose themselves Tell me again About democracy
