Everything but the Truth - Lucinda Williams

You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place

You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place

People say they hate you, try to kill you, while they’re grinning in your face

You got the power to make this mean ole world a better place

Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one

Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one

You gotta do the right things, gotta jump on in and see that it gets done

Before you can have a friend, you gotta be one

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

He’s not playing games;

he’s taking names;

he is bullet proof

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself

God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself

You gotta go it alone, you gotta gather it up, ain’t nobody gonna help

God put the firewood there, but you gotta light yourself

You gotta make the most of what equipment you’ve got

You gotta make the most of what equipment you’ve got

Don’t sit around complaining, crying all the time, 'cause you don’t have a lot

You gotta make the most of what equipment you’ve got

Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment

Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment

You’ve gotta settle up with this sweet ole world and give back what you’ve taken

Sooner or later before too long, you gotta make a payment

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

He’s not playing games;

he’s taking names;

he is bullet proof

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth

Everything’s gonna change, everything but the truth
