To be honest, you're not missing much with Truth, it's not really an excerpt from the actual song, rather the five drunkest people in the room singing 'All I want is some truth' over and over for twenty seconds or so.

There's one on eBay at the moment for $150 US (75 quid, due to the shocking state of the Dollar at present, for anyone here who's interested).
