Somebody Told the Truth Lyrics & Tabs by Peter Case
Somebody Told the Truth
guitar chords lyrics
The courthouse emptied out
The jurors all went home
The lawyers eased their guilty hearts
The cops were on their own
The soldiers left their camps
The weapons lay in heaps
The generals disappeared
The prisoners were freed
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
The theaters emptied out
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
The theaters emptied out
The radios went dead
The stadiums were silent
And not a word was said
The dots were all connected
The lines were barely drawn
The secrets night kept hidden
Were left out in the dawn
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
The starving men and women
For once received their fill
The children of the highway
Were singin' on the hill
The politicians vanished
They must have caught their plane
The clandestine policeman
Stared out in the rain
I sat down on the curbstone
I rubbed my eyes and coughed
I rubbed my wrists and ankles
And I thanked the lord above
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
Somebody, somebody told
They told the truth to somebody
Somebody told the truth
