So now I am oldest,
one self-indulgent tirade,
I will attempt to…
to sum my point-of-view.
Yeah, I know what’s riding,
beneath your best intentions.
At the heart of your convictions,
sits a broken man,
that needs to understand.

(I am oldest now, I am oldest now, I am oldest now!)

This is…
all I ever asked from you,
the only thing you couldn’t do;
“Tell me the whole truth.”
You don’t know,
(I)
yourself.
(will)
How could I,
(not)
know you?
(be moved.)
I will not be moved,
until you tell me the whole truth.

Woah oh,
Ohh oh,
Woah oh,
Oh oh,
Woah oh,
Ohh oh.

I know you mean well,
with your ancient code of ethics,
and lead by example.
Can you imagine, Christ, hitting a child?
You live in a shelter,
(shelter)
built from your own truth.
There’s so many things you…
(you don’t want…)
you don’t want me, you don’t want me to know.

(I am oldest now, I am oldest now, I am oldest now!)

This is…
all I ever asked of you,
the only thing you couldn’t do;
“Tell me the whole truth.”
You don’t know,
(I)
yourself.
(will)
How could I,
(not)
know you?
(be moved.)
I will not be moved,
until you tell me the whole truth.

Oh, next time you’re standing on that stage,
(You’re lying to yourself, you’re lying to yourself!)
and selling your cold hollow faith…
(You’re still lying to me, you’re still lying to me!)
Oh, next time you’re standing on that stage,
(Repent! Repent!)
and selling your cold hollow faith,
remember…

This is…
all I ever asked from you,
the only thing you couldn’t do;
“Tell,
me,
the,
whole,
truth.”

You don’t know,
(I)
yourself.
(will)
How could I,
(not)
know you?
(be moved.)
I will not be moved,
until you tell me the whole truth.

(Oh, the only thing I asked from you…)
The only thing I asked from you,
the only thing you couldn’t do;
“Tell me the whole truth.”

I,
(I)
will,
(will)
not,
(not)
be moved.
I will not be moved,
(I am oldest now)
I am oldest now.
(I am oldest now)
Tell me the whole truth.
