The Whole Story
Unveiling Lives: The Whole Story Revealed
Lyrics
See a little boy on the bicycle
Observation of a young boy riding a bicycle
Shiny bike in a bad neighborhood
Notable contrast between a shiny bike and a rough neighborhood
Could he really really own that
Questioning whether the boy truly owns the bike
Should he really really own that
Raising doubt about the boy's ownership of the bike
Pretty lady in a short dress
Description of a well-dressed woman in a short dress
Giving smiles as people pass
She is smiling at people as they pass by
Should she really really act like that
Questioning the appropriateness of her behavior
There's suspicion in the way that she acts
Suspicion regarding the way she is acting
You better know the whole story
Emphasizing the importance of knowing the complete story
Before you cause a world of worry
Advising against causing unnecessary worry without understanding
Things you know nothing about
Highlighting ignorance about certain things
You better know the whole story
Reiterating the importance of knowing the whole story
before you act a Judge or jury
Cautioning against acting as a judge or jury prematurely
With words that should have never left your mouth
Warning against speaking words that should not have been spoken
You better know
Reiteration of the advice to know the complete story
Crazy man in a ratty suit
Description of a disheveled man in a worn-out suit
Is he a bum or is he Howard Hughs
Uncertainty about whether he is a homeless person or someone wealthy
You could never never know that
Emphasizing the difficulty of knowing the truth about him
You could never never know that
Reiterating the challenge of understanding his situation
Man with wild hair and face tattoos
Description of a man with unconventional appearance and tattoos
May be a mentor for troubled youth
Suggesting he might be a positive influence on troubled youth
You could never never know
Highlighting the difficulty of knowing someone's true character
That's how this world goes
Expressing the unpredictable nature of the world
You better know the whole story
Reiterating the importance of understanding the complete story
Before you cause a world of worry
Advising against causing unnecessary worry without complete information
With things you know nothing about
Cautioning against judging things without proper knowledge
You better know the whole story
Emphasizing the need to know the whole story before passing judgment
before you act a Judge or jury
Warning against speaking words prematurely or without understanding
With words that should have never left your mouth
Highlighting the consequences of words spoken without knowing the whole story
Yeah, you better know
Reiteration of the importance of having complete knowledge
