Who Owns the Truth

Ruth Grogan and Ed Connors


Who owns the truth, who owns the truth
Is it Limbaugh on EIB, he doesn't make much sense to me
The press corp and Fox TV, there's no spin says O'Rielly
Who owns the truth

GOP or Democrat, what's so grand about all that
Democrats are running wild and Republicans have lost their smile
Those senators and congressmen, sure can give it their ownspin

Who owns the truth, who owns the truth

Rumsfeld Cheney Karl Rove, this White House staff just has to go
Rumsfeld Cheney Karl Rove, one down and two to go
Leaders appoint their crony friends but who is qualified in the end

Who owns the truth

Activist judges aren't alright unless they're active toward the right
Barnes and Haggard were living lies, while telling us how to live our lives
Dobson and his Christian clan sound just like the Taliban
Dobson and his Christian clan, maybe they should just disband
Who owns the truth, who owns the truth

Who owns the truth, who owns the truth

Can you explain the facts to me, about this campaign financing
Candidates shouldn't spend much dough but PACS keep spending more and more

Who owns the truth

John Caldera, Douglas Bruce, tell us government has no use
When winter storms blow into town they won't fund plows to get around

Who owns the truth, who owns the truth

Spin doctors all around, nothing comes out like it sounds
They try to fool us everyday, their words are not quite what they say

Who owns the truth

Jon Stewart the Daily Show, Letterman and Jay Leno
SNL late night TV, makes a lot more sense to me

Maybe they own the truth, maybe they own the truth.
