Billy Talent
Try Honesty (Live)
[Verse 1]
Well, I tripped, I fell down, naked
And I scratched, oh, my knees and they bled
Sew up, oh, my eyes, need no more
In our game, ha, there is, there's no- let’s go! (score)

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on this whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskatе, come on for Pete's sakе
Cry agony! Cry agony!

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm insane and it’s your fault, but you're so sly
And your well of lies, it ran dry
And I cut on the cord, free fall
From so high, oh, we all seem like we're so, oh so small

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on this whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony! Cry agony! (Ho!)
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey!
I'm insane, it's your fault! (Cry!)
I'm insane, it's your fault! (Cry!)
I’m insane, it’s your fault! (Cry!)

[Spoken]
Oh, my God... You know, it's, uh-
What a crazy couple years we’ve all been through, huh?
And, uh, there were times that I thought to myself
That we'd never be able to do this again, you know
And so, uhm, I'm incredibly overwhelmed at the moment
With just nothing but love and gratitude
And just sheer thank you to all of you for coming down here
And giving a shit about our fucking band
Because, man! What I said, those were some tough couple years
And don't get me wrong, the world is still
Very much a fucked up place right now
But if there’s one thing that I learned throughout this whole journey
Is just to take each day as it comes to you
Be appreciative and try to see the beauty in each day
And to be present, wherever you are
Just be present and be happy to be there
Right, there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than right here, right now with all you people, so-
Just remember, that we need more love
And more compassion and more understanding
And more kindness and we're gonna get through all of this
And we'll get through whatever comes our way, okay?
[Interlude]
So, forgive me father
Why should you bother- now?
Sing! Forgive me father
Why should you bother- oh, yeah!

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on this whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Cry agony! Cry agony!
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Cry agony! Cry agony! (Ho!)
Hoo-ooh-noo!

[Spoken]
How many people here, uh
Are familiar with our second record?
Does anybody know our second record?
We're gonna play a song of that record and, uh-
You know, it dawned on me the other day
People ask you sometimes, like
"What's your favorite song off that record?"
I'm like, "I don't fucking know"
Uh, but I will say, I think this next song
Is my favorite song on that record
And, uh, not only because of- it's just a beautiful song
But also just because of how amazing
Mister Ian D'Sa is on the guitar
*Crowd chants 'Ian'* Yeah, fucking rad
So, I'd like for you to sing this with me, okay?
If you know the words
