Hurtful Truth By: Michael Dykhoff 6/7/01 It�s funny how a lyric can stir a state, Of love, of joy, of sorrow, of hate. Its funny how were killing ourselves everyday, Trying to hold on but we haven�t found a way. It�s funny how were smiling but really frowning, Were so depressed were almost drowning. Its funny that were making fun of people in a song, This guy is killing his wife, (�Now bleed bitch, bleed� - Eminem) and pop is a �thong ta thong, thong, thong.� It�s a bad note, It�s treason, It�s a scapegoat, Without a reason. We all need an explanation But no one wants to deal with the situation. But keep smiling, Because the truth is going to hurt. A pop queen, here today, gone tomorrow, (�But she cries, cries, cries, in her lonely heart� �Britney Spears) Because she couldn�t take her pain and sorrow. A gangster punk, dead in the gutter, Because he made fun of someone�s mother. The parents need an explanation, To shelter there own, from the information. But we know the info� It�s funny how our schools aren�t safe, The students march like they�re a strafe. It�s funny how the streets are violent, But still the witnesses stay silent. Its funny how movies and TV kill, Imitating Scream and Johnny Knoxville. It�s funny how books and magazines tell the truth, The truth parents try to hide from they�re youth. It�s a bad note, It�s treason, It�s a scapegoat, Without a reason. We all need an explanation But no one wants to deal with the situation. But keep smiling, Because the truth is going to hurt. An Abercrombie Model, Killed by an alcohol bottle. A kid found choked in his room, His father forced him to doom. The funeral of a straight A student, Memoir says, �she was oh so prudent� It�s a bad note, It�s treason, It�s a scapegoat, Without a reason. We all need an explanation No one wants to deal with the situation. It�s funny how a lyric can stir a state, Of love, of joy, of sorrow, of hate. But keep smiling, Because the truth is going to hurt. It�s a bad note, It�s treason, It�s a scapegoat, Without a reason. We all need an explanation No one wants to deal with the situation. Its funny how the world can turn upside down, Like a smile and a frown. But keep smiling, Because the truth is going to hurt.
