Tell the children the motherfuckin' truth! [Repeat x2]
Your pussy band sounds just like shit
You're not punk rock
You're more like a punk trick
You corporate motherfuckers all suck a dick
I'm an anti-motherfuckin' social independent
Fuck the life
I don't want a thing
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
Fuck the world
You're a lost consumer
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
You sold your time, your soul to Cosmo
In love with a name tag
How bout this toe tag
You got raped by the fags on TV
And the TV got raped by the FCC
Fuck the life
I don't want a thing
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
Fuck the world
You're a lost consumer
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
I can't fuckin' stand you fuckin' pigs
How do you bite the hand that feeds?
How can I walk away?
How do you bite the hand that feeds?
How can I walk away with this?
How do you bite the hand that feeds?
How can I walk away?
How do you bite the hand that feeds?
I can't let them get away with this!
No I'm not just a nigga
I'm a punk rock nigga
So you know I got nothin to lose
I'd rather pull the trigga
And take away my own life
Before I hand it over to you
I can do it
Fuck the life
I don't want a thing
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
Fuck the world
You're a lost consumer
You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
No! I can't live like that! [Repeat x2])
No way! I can't live like that!
I can do it!
I can do it!
You are not what you own! [Repeat x4]
The song "Truth" by T.H.E. Story is a punk rock protest against the mainstream corporate culture. The lyrics urge the youth to take a step back and question the narratives that the society is presenting to them. The repetition of the line "Tell the children the motherfuckin' truth!" is a call to action to the elders to be honest with the younger generations about the reality of life.
The lyrics criticize the consumer-driven and superficial nature of the society. The slang "pussy band" is used to describe anyone who claims to be a punk rocker but is just a surface-level imitation. The chorus "Fuck the life, I don't want a thing. You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig. Fuck the world, you're a lost consumer" reflects the disillusionment of the band with the system. They refuse to conform to the societal norms and reject the idea of living a life that is dictated by the market.
The song also deals with the idea of identity. The frontman states that he is not just a "nigga," he is a "punk rock nigga." He is a rebellion against any form of labels that the society might try to attach to him. In the end, the song is a rallying cry for the youth to resist the conformist mentality that the society is force-feeding them.
