I swear by Almighty God To tell the whole truth And nothing but the truth They torture all the women and children Then they've put the men to the gun 'cause across the human frontier Freedom's always on the run Guns guns a-shaking in terror

(All I ever wanted) All I ever wanted (All I ever needed) (Was a father) I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, So help me GOD I just felt like telling the story of my life Felt like, maybe somebody could be inspired, you know?
