Police, The - Truth Hits Everybody Lyrics






Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in [life is death]
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

Where you want to be
Won't you ever see

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Now

  26. C.... B....

    That's funny how this song prefigure some foo fighters style :)

  27. L.... ....

    The Bankster royals control all governments including N Korea which is allied with China, Iran is allied with Russia & the US / UK empire is allied with Israel all by design for WW3 which is meant to kill off billions.

    Climate change is a lie. All weather worldwide is engineered using billions of watts of HAARP frequency. They are purposely destroying homes & crops. The Federal government is on the brink of bankruptcy so there will be no Federal bailouts. The IMF will soon declare the US dollar insolvent. The debt is currently at 20.370 trillion.

    The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Windsors, Bushs, Kennedys, Warburgs & many other families are all inbred into one bloodline that's been controlling the world since ancient Egypt. Believe it or not they are Satanic Vampires. They have private islands where Nazi scientists have been cloning since the end of WW2. Archaeologists dug up bones from Nephilim Giants which were the offspring of human women & Fallen Angels. They've cloned these Giants & cross hybridized them with wolves , winged reptiles & other animals to create Lycanthropes, Demonic looking winged Reptilians & other Beastly hybrids. In the Bible Satan is referred to as a Dragon so by cross hybridizing species they've created Dragons. These are not God's creatures so Satan & his Demons can possess them. Demon possessed clones actually walk among us....THEY LIVE ! They might even stage a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion with these hybrids. Space exploration is a lie. It's impossible to pass thru the Van Allen Radiation Belt so all government space programs are lying.

    Another huge lie is Nuclear weapons. Hiroshima & Nagasaki are both rural farming communities which were fire bombed. Both areas are still rural farming areas not Nuclear waste land The news showed us a Hollywood production of a mushroom cloud & we were duped into thinking it was a Nuclear bomb. Fukushima & Chernobyl were also elaborate hoaxes. Nuclear physicist Galen Winsor designed many of the US power plants, in his video NUCLEAR DANGER IS A HOAX !!! IT'S ONLY HEAT he proves that all countries are lying about Nuclear danger which proves they are all controlled by one shadow government. N Korea & Iran Nuclear threat is a ruse to start WW3. What they do have are Directed Energy satellite weapons that can incinerate large areas & they are used to create all weather conditions & they can cause tsunamis, volcanic eruptions & earthquakes. This technology is nothing new it's been in use for decades. The floods of 1927 were engineered to create bigger government. There are HAARP installations all over the world that are being used to destroy crops. Fracking is poisoning the ground water. Control the food & water to control the people & herd them into FEMA death camps'

    The Bible says there will be Tribulation like no other time in the history of the world before Armageddon so expect the unexpected. The Bible says that Satan is the ruler of this world for now. God is letting this happen so he can judge us. Eventually God will give Jesus Christ the order to return for Armageddon. Jesus Christ will command an army of Angels. Michael the one & only Archangel commanded an army of Angels that cast Satan & 1/3 of the Angels out of Heaven forever. Satan hates both Michael & Jesus. The name Michael in Hebrew means "Who is like God" The Bible says that Jesus is the first born of all creation so that would mean he is very much like God. When Jesus returns for Armageddon he will descend with a shout of an Archangel of which there is only one ! There is only one United army of Angels so common sense tells me that Jesus Christ is the one & only Archangel, Michael !

    Ava Lenore always loved this song. Sept 2018 mn

    A.... L....

    Ty for lyrics to Truth Hits Everybody bc I made up my own lol

    A.... L....

    It's not 'It'll blow your head in two, oh boy!' It's "It Will Blow Your Head Into The Void."

    A.... L....

    "It'll BLOW YOUR HEAD INTO THE VOID!"

  31. A.... B....

    It's so true

  32. P.... S....

    Truth hits everybody ......

  33. R.... H....

    in 0,75 speed look like the new song of sting XD (similar not the same)

    R.... H....

    At 1.25x normal speed it sounds like how they played it live 'back in the day'.

  34. S.... G....

    I didn't hear this song until I was about 13 or 14 not really sure but I know I loved their music and I ditched school that day to go see them in a c okay it was worth the trouble lol 😄😄😄😁😁😁👌🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

  35. i.... 0....

    Stewart used to kick Stings ass on a regular basis...or was it the other way around.....

    i.... 0....

    i think they pretty much called it a draw.

  36. T.... ....

    I don't listen to this in years man, so glad I found it again.

  37. P.... G....

    13 dislikes ? wtf ? you cant handle the truth.

    P.... G....

    Paul Gureghian Now 14 dislikes. I was thinking the exactly the same thing, like "If you don't like one of the best songs (the best in my opinion) on the first Police album, then what music DO you consider to be good???"

    P.... G....

    Paul Gureghian truth hurts every body

    P.... G....

    Did you order the code red?

  38. J.... S....

    Now

    J.... S....

    Juan Sales Durá FUCK me! Those are some amazing lyrics, especially considering most people thought they were just a punk band at this point

    J.... S....

    this song seems to be about toying around with guns 'take a look at my new toy, it'll blow your head in two, oh boy" . Sounds like its written by a hypnotized assassin, finds the target sleeping, wakes them up and blows them away while sort of sleepwalking through it all.

  39. R.... K....

    Sad that far too many people look at the Police as Stings backing band, not realizing how integral & great musicians Summers & Copeland were.

    R.... K....

    I totally agree that The Police is Stu's band. But I also get how great a trio can be. You don't like Rush, you think Andy is a hack. My humble opinion is that as a lead guitarist You expect certain things in a certain order. You are like an Alpha Gamer that wants to put all the pieces in places that suit you. You are good at a certain thing and if the situation does not comply then you reject it. Well, that is not music, my friend. But if you are the guitar player in a trio that takes over the world, you have an instant fan. Good luck navigating that soundscape!

    R.... K....

    @Paul Crosslin woow. Its nice to see a comment that someone put a little thought into. Your assumption of the way I like or expect things to be was actually kinda interesting. I don't play in a trio. But, I do play a lot of technical death metal. So, the shit I play is very fast and extremely technical. Trust me when I say that nothing that Andy has ever played has been anywhere close to amazing. He wears out a lot of old Marley chords and shit. All recycled bs. Stu kept them relevant for a long long time.

    R.... K....

    @Paul Crosslin oh, and lol @ adult gamer. I do not play video games. 🙄

    R.... K....

    Andy did lots of drugs with John Belushi. You'll never live up to Andy, son.

    R.... K....

    Rusty yes. Copeland. One of the best drummers summers is actually on the top 100 guitarists he played with Jimmy page and many other greats

  40. T.... ....

    They were trying to be punk, but they played too good. Not a problem.

    T.... ....

    A punk rock band actually covered this 12 years later and it came out alright.

    T.... ....

    @drfreebird777 i´m giving to you an answer 1 year late but yeah Regatta de Blanc means White reggea😀

    T.... ....

    @Pumpkingilmour According to his great Stingness, they were based on Truth Kills by Ted Hughes.............

    T.... ....

    I meant the song 'Everything little thing she does is magic' is similar to 'every little thing gonna be alright', they were discussing white reggae. I don't know how I screwed up and ended up on this song < must have thought I was posting to the 'everything little she does is magic' video.

    T.... ....

    hot take the police were the first pop punk band

  41. A.... W....

    wo - hoho

  42. R.... R....

    For whom does the bell toll?/It tolls for thee! ; } The live Musik Laden taping in Bremen is spectacularly modern-looking, as if a day hasn't gone by since I was four (but it's a shocking 37 YEARS!). I've just shared that performance as well; kudos to whomever made it look so impossibly clean and crisp. Spectacular. Phoa re: Stewart and Andy as well, of course. These were my three fancy men when I was a teenager. Now I'll be looking for the bubble gum advert which required that they all dye their hair blond! ; }

  43. m.... w....

    NINETEEN SEVENTY EIGHT! wow.

  44. D.... 2....

    Rock band classic pack brought me here

    A.... B....

    +Ashley Burns agreed,just bought mine

    A.... B....

    Very true. The vinyl sounds great

    A.... B....

    Agreed... Ghost In The Machine and this album are both extremely solid.

  48. S.... ....

    Those first two Police albums were fantastic. I'd sit on my bed and play The Beat, The Pretenders and The Police over and over again. Great time period to be a kid.

    S.... ....

    SoulStylistJukeBox you ain't kidding..!! Look back at all the records released from76-79!
    UNREAL. WHAT A TIME

    S.... ....

  52. R.... J....

    Some bands are  a brand, then, who cares.

  53. l.... ....

    Stink and the Police. Awful.

    l.... ....

    Shut up

    l.... ....

    @Alex Langmaid Get your gay on for Stink!

    l.... ....

    Sting is a card carrying FREEMASON with his picture hanging on the wall of Albert Hall The Freemasons are planning on reducing the world population down to 500 mil & they just might do it because everybody is so wrapped up in their little worlds that they can't see what is going on in the real world

    l.... ....

    @LordGandor3
    wtf

    l.... ....

    @LordGandor3 even if it was true, this music is much better than the most of stupid crap that is played now

  54. c.... f....

    pity that so many realize 5 minutes before dying!

    c.... f....

    Deathbed confessions, I think the moment when you truly realize your about to die & meet your maker ALL the truth finally comes out. Nothing to fear

  55. S.... ....

    Best obi wan album

  56. s.... ....

    tell me about it!

  57. t.... 8....

    6 people listen to madonna

  58. K.... ....

    strangely enough,this song was in my head as i strolled ouside the twickenham stadium before their world tour concert there.i went inside a portaloo when someone started raving it in the next loo.even my sister who was with me had it in her head.anyone with the same experience,please comment.

  59. u.... ....

    Hehe, *LARGE DOSES*!!!

  60. V.... D....

    Perfect mixture of punk and the Beatles ...

  61. L.... R....

    One word : CLASSIC

  62. S.... M....

    siccccckkkk song

  63. A.... O....

    they were initially marketed as the band takin out the pistols..

  64. n.... ....

    great song, their best album

  65. j.... a....

    stewart beating the shit out of his beloved tamas...what a monster drummer!!!

  66. s.... ....

    Uhh, U2 in boy almost gets THIS good.

  67. C.... M....

    Sue Lawley is my favorite song by the Police.

  68. D.... C....

    Like "So Lonely" which becomes "Sue Lawley"?

    D.... C....

    Yep... Sting's Geordie accent!

  69. s.... ....

    Two people out there haven`t been hit by the truth.

  70. C.... M....

    I used to think this song was: "She hates everybody, she hates everyone."

    C.... M....

    SAME here -that's funny. I thought it was written about my girlfriend!!

  71. v.... l....

    the police was out way before the clash,u2,so they had a some influences from the ppo-po!

  72. n.... ....

    too true!

  73. w.... ....

    interested to hear any covers of this.

  74. g.... ....

    Two people were hit by truth.

  75. K.... ....

    ahahaha...sting looks like billy idol on the cover of this album.

  76. K.... ....

    @JVanC4tania yes they were.

  77. F.... ....

    This is back before Sting forgot how to write interesting, fun songs.

    F.... ....

    it is because the band broke up. The band kept Sting in reality, after the success of his first solo album he was never the same , dreck like 'We'll be Together Tonight", yech, and All For One with frigging Brian Adams ....he turned into a total radio puker. Every Breath you Take every buck you make..
    I will never miss the days of the awful fucking 'Guns n' Roses' Sweet Child o Mine/Aerosmith 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing', Bon Jovi , Bryan Adams Dairy Queen studs genre.
    Fuck it, just ....bury the shit deep and forget it ever existed. Please. But for all of that, Sting helped put out some really good basic rock on his first couple of Police albums.

  78. c.... ....

    Just think, Margaret Thatcher became the PM of Britain right when these guys hit there peak, sic.

  79. B.... ....

    as soon as i heard this song it became my fav song i love it!!! XD

  80. S.... A....

    motion city soundtrack did a cover of this song. Its pretty good too.

  81. t.... ....

    they still kick everybody's ass,oldsters that they are even now...gAd dang

  82. C.... ....

    u2 ?? me neither

  83. R.... V....

    una de las mejores canciones de la banda

  84. K.... ....

    @thenewfella1994 Sting bothers a lot of people. Frank Zappa hadn't been too impressed with him but ran into him in their hotel in NY in '88 & asked him to come on stage & Sting sang Murder By Numbers with Zappa's band. It's a good version, Sting tells the audience that Jimmy Swaggart, a famous TV preacher, called the song Devil's music. Swaggart was in the middle of a sex scandal, cheated on his wife, and went on TV & begged for forgiveness. He was blubbering like a little baby, just ridiculous.

  85. M.... ....

    Wow was I lucky being a teenager when this album came out.

  86. F.... J....

    there is a great version of this song performed by snapcase, a great hardcore band.

  87. M.... ....

    "She Hates Everybody, She Hates Everyone (oh,oh,oh) She Hates Everybody, She Hates Everyone"

    M.... ....

    Chuck hits everybody, chuck hits everyone........

  88. j.... ....

    motion city soundtrack did a amazing cover of this song

  89. T.... G....

    The studio version is good but the live version is better. IMO

  90. G.... ....

    @1172404 Far better than u2. And if this is close to u2, its the other way around. U2 is very close to the police.

  91. s.... k....

    @1172404 huh?

  92. G.... S....

    Wow. The 70s had some odd recording equipment.

  93. A.... ....

    My original pressing of this album says Copyright 1978 on the record label, but says Copyright 1979 on the outer jacket. I always thought that was funny (but I was just a pre-teen back then wanting to go check out the Atari video games at the store and try to kick everyone's azz on the Captain Fantastic Elton John pinball machine at
    Big K Grocery). Yes, I miss 1979.

  94. k.... ....

    "Take a look at my new toy / It'll blow your head in two oh boy"!!
    Doesn't sound like 1978, right? They took just the right amount from punk, the right amount from rock and from reggae, and mixed it all with their own stuff (Sting's stuff mostly).

  95. T.... ....

    ewan mc gregor looks like sting xd

  96. M.... ....

    Sounds similar to Fall Out :D

  97. M.... T....

    A good friend of mine had some beers etc. with Stewart Copeland a few weeks before "Syncronicity" was released and he was afraid it was gonna tank. He thought it wasn't a very good album. I dig all their albums, but nobody has all that confidence, I guess, except, maybe Sting!

  98. H.... R....

    Underrated Police Song!
