Tell the Truth Lyrics by J. Mamana

Nothing New in the West

2018

Uni Popular—
Can I be popular?
What does it really mean to be popular?
What if I told you I don’t wanna be popular?
I met this same person twice before
They told of art school prophets far too cool to just ignore
Where the old lines fall flat, you see
Their suburban parables were too arcane for a friend like me
And now I see their double stumble in the streets by day
And when I’m out on Brook I have to break it for the alley way
Let be be final—
I know it’s best this way
But every time I bring you up it’s all in metaphor and sobriquet
Tell the truth
And but we never even had the time to feign
Too busy cussing Kissingers and thumbing Charlemagnes
And when I came to find my love for one plussed two
Affaire de cœur just seemed to me like such a bogus move
Tell the truth
I know you
What’s your problem?
Just tell the truth
