Billy Talent - Try Honesty Lyrics
[Note: There are (at least) 2 versions of this song, one seems to be a demo version, the other the CD version. This is the actual CD version lyrics:]
Well I tripped, I fell down naked
Well I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the 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
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small'
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the 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
I talk to you
I'm insane, it's your fault
Try
I'm insane, it's your fault
Cry
I'm insane, it's your fault
Cry
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother now?
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty, Try honesty
Hop in your dumptruck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, Ride over me
Take on the 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
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
Try honesty, Try Honesty
Cry Agony, Cry Agony
[The demo version is pretty much the same except for the part "I'm insane, it's your fault" is instead "Insane, Assault", and the part "I cut the chord, free fall", is "I pulled the chord, free fall". As well in the first chorus, only the first 2 lines are said.]

Where's the random guy putting the lyrics in the comments?
Edit: Well I guess it'll be me
Fave song 2018.
The riffs are so unique and refreshing from all the power chords that sound the same in every song.
Nice . Brings me back to the younger days
When he says "ride over me" does that make anyone thinkof that one vine where the dude laying on the ground says "DRIVE OVER ME!" ?? Or am I just way too emo?
who the hell watches vines anymore
Ayyy I'm 1 millionth viewer
EYY 1 MILL VIEWS
I saw him live
This song when I discovered 7-8 years ago I didn't understood the meaning of the message, now I just called my father :)
“I’m insane! It’s your fault!”
Fuck that one, single lyric still speaks to me on the same level it did when I was an awkward 16 year old...
I don’t listen to a lot of the bands I did in middle and high school any more, but I always come back to these guys.
Billy Talent is one of the only bands that dares to touch on mental illness and bullying.
*Nostalgia Goosebumps*
i loved this shit back then... and i still do :)

This song makes me feel like I wanna hit the boxing ring and knock an asshole out
brb got to hop in that dump truck
Just heard this shit for the first time on 97.7 Southern Ontario radio while I was working in Buffalo. Fucking awesome
Listening here in 2018
Thank you Billy Talent for the upcoming benefit concert at the Danforth Music Hall #Danforthstrong #Torontostrong
I bloody love this song. I've seen these boys a few times and spent longer watching the old punks ghosting through the pits, keeping an eye on the kids and smoothing it over. There's good guys out there in music land

Dude just like me! Don't bother commenting! ^ zzzzz guy... I got worked up! I put a stop motion animation together! I called a friend of mine! I appreciate this band!
Haha this song is so edgy
Billy will always be my number 1 favourite band of all time. Been in love with them since grade 7. Now I'm 27 years old. There music has been with me through thick and thin. Love them forever.
lol when ur mental health is fine and u still listen
My dad got me this cd when i was like 8 or 9 years old nostalgia big time
Hop in the dump truck...reverse for good luck.. sad one by the way.
Sends transmission from the one armed scissor...wait wrong song
Realized that Billy Talent has some pretty decent jams, I just want to scream “iam insane it’s your fault”
Hi , I love this band .... I will be so happy if you try to listen my new project ... :-) https://youtu.be/mHS3LXWbChI
http://bandzone.cz/theoverbastarding
when i 1st listened to this song i thought it was like a stoned 16 year old now i see its like this 30 year old irish dude on the internet
Masterpiece.....slow clap
The song it's great but the refrain should have been a bit deep and heavier cause the beginning is makes you feel it deep ( if makes sense ) cause hearing the refrain breaks the idea of the song well the feelings and message of the song 😂😂😂😂I don't even know if this makes sense
Fuck this makes me feel old. Them teen/young adult years though. Miss music like this.
For all the peeps in HS from 03'-07". Some epic time period we lived through. Soon as we graduate though.... 2008 recession.
2004 -2008
Father issues....
Feel like I‘m 12 again
NOICE MANN OMG SOOOOO NICE
reminds me of when i was dominating day of defeat servers haha
I first heard this song on a compilation CD that I found on a torrent site a long time ago called "Death Valley" and had to see out their other stuff. Pretty decent, but not on the level of the bigger punk/emo bands of that time period.
Edgy xD Nah. I use to call this edgy. Good song
Cold Steel the hedgehedge vibes
2018 still fuking wit it ! Was in grade 9 when this came out damm
"Forgive me father, I shot your brother."
Looking for Bobby Foley he led me to love this. Said it was shit hot over 10 years ago and it still is!
This song reminds me of One armed scissor by At the drive in. Anyone else?
Alvin Yakitori same here, thought I was the only one but ATDI and Billy Talent both rule \m/
Alvin Yakitori Kinda, this sounds a lot better imo
These guys hold it down for Canada. New found appreciation for this group.
especially mississauga
I always thought until very recently that he said "Come home for cheesesteak/Come home for pizza!"
#CottonMouthSingersSuck
Look at that. he didn't even make it to church but at the end of the day he complains the Preacher was talking out of regard for the bible, and instead of trying honesty he preached.
One of billy talents best, by far!!
