Lord above, what have you done To this lonely heart o'man Frightened to the bone That's how it all began He bought a colt, a 38 To gain security He'd only have one mission Protect the family His son is only 13 And he's playing Judgment Day Alike the late night movie Blows someones head away Daddy told him how to load And pull the trigger now Then left him on it's road again For more respect in town Don't tell no lies Like you use to do Don't tell no lies We're not save anymore We need understanding Respect, and help us God So don't tell no lies, no more Won't somebody tell me Where do we go from here Spreading seeds of hate Growing only fear It's a race against the time The many things undone Still we look at justice Trough the barrel of a gun Don't tell no lies Like you use to do Don't tell no lies We're not save anymore We need understanding Respect, and help us God So don't tell no lies, no more There must be an answer to this everlasting Why It's getting harder everyday, no matter how I try Don't tell no lies Like you use to do Don't tell no lies We're not save anymore We need understanding Respect, and help us God So don't tell no lies, no more
