Lyrics Billy Talent – Try Honesty
Text:
Note: There are (at least) 2 versions of this song, one seems to be a demo version, the other the CD version. This is the actual CD version lyrics:
Well I tripped, I fell down naked
Well I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete’s sake
Cry Agony, Cry agony
I’m insane, it’s your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small’
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete’s sake
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
I talk to you
I’m insane, it’s your fault
Try
I’m insane, it’s your fault
Cry
Cry
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, Die Tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete’s sake
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
Try honesty, Try Honesty
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
The demo version is pretty much the same except for the part «I’m insane, it’s your fault» is instead «Insane, Assault», and the part «I cut the chord, free fall», is «I pulled the chord, free fall». As well in the first chorus, only the first 2 lines are said.
