Testo di Truth Doesn't Live In a Book

Everybody knows that the bible is full of wisdom The good book is great But, a few thousand years of disputes and debates Have shown that the text was written In such a way that it inherently requires intensive Rigorous, and constant interpretation! Did you know that when the bible was given It was delivered along with an oral tradition Which, at the time, was expressly forbidden To be written down? Now, the reason why, I submit, must be Is that this was to prevent undue rigidity You see, the bible is a living work that needs to breathe In order to stay alive Now, I hope my approach won't be seen as ham-fisted And we all know that words get distorted and twisted But, it is my contention that some of the best bits Were not written down Always have a little bit of salt with your tequila Don't smoke your stash if you're gonna be a deala' Try to drink at least eight cups of water every day Always keep your hockey stick on the ice If you wanna cut once, ya better measure twice There's no such thing as a lunch that's really free An eye for an eye means fair compensation It doesn't mean take up arms with another nation Anything written down can be twisted apart Don't be ashamed to talk about your mental health Try to love your neighbor like ya love yourself That one's in there, but it always gets forgotten Truth doesn't live in a book, you find it in the little surprises The good book is only a lens to focus the view Justice for all is composed of the ugliest compromises You can't only look at the lens, you gotta look through There's no such thing as a virgin conception Every good rule has a notable exception Don't surround yourself with friends who only agree Don't count your eggs before they're chicken Ask for consent before ya put your dick in Ain't nothing wrong with homosexuality Don't get caught with your pants around your ankle If you wanna hide your money, stick it in a Swiss Bank-Le Every banking system needs a lot of regulation Never draw a picture of the prophet Mohammed Unless you're a cartoonist and ya really, really wanna Illustrate cultural insensitivity Truth doesn't live in a book, you find it in the little surprises The good book is only a lens to focus the view Justice for all is composed of the ugliest compromises You can't only look at the lens, you gotta look through Truth doesn't live in a book (come on!), you find it in the little surprises The good book is only a lens to focus the view Justice for all is composed of the ugliest compromises You can't only look at the lens, you gotta look through (Truth does not live in a book) truth does not live in a book (You find it in the little surprises) you find it in the little surprises, woah (The good book is only a lens to focus the view) You gotta focus a view, for all (Justice for all is composed of the ugliest compromises) Is the power! The soul! Money! Ugly (You can't only look at the lens, you gotta look through) Compromises! Ya gotta look through You have to live in the world to get to the truth
