AIMEE MANN
"Truth On My Side"

Well, I guess you got your friend
Some friend to take me down
Was it getting on your nerves just knowing I'm around
It wasn't enough
It's never enough for you to merely be unkind
But turning the screws
Dear if I were you,
Might be a hobby not to mind

But I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried
Well, bearing down is easy
Just a word and watch your little house divide

I've got a little secret
Others will concur
Some people are just stupid
As you thought they were
Including of course
The ones you were rest assured would never make a stand
But battles get lost when one extra push could be the one to tip your hand

But I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried
Well, bearing down is easy
Just a word and watch your little house divide

You better pray that the lies you have going
Can keep you from owing much more than you do
'Cause the debt just gets bigger
And one day I figure
Someone will be calling it due

And I will admit
I'd like to commit
To tearing down the wall I see
But why raise a hand
When I know the end is coming soon enough without me
