Truth Doesn't Live in a Book

Everybody knows 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 intense and rigorous and constant interpretation

Did you know, 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 was to prevent undo rigidity

You see the Bible is a living word that needs to breath 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 dealer

Try to drink at least eight cups of water everyday

Always keep your hockey stick on the ice

If you wanna cut once, you 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-a bombs 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 you love yourself

That ones 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 you 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 bankle

Every banking system needs a lot of regulation

Never draw a picture of the Prophet Muhammad

Unless you're a cartoonist and you 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, cmon! 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
You find it in the little surprises
You got to focus the view
Justice for all is composed of so many ugly compromises
You gotta look through
You have to live in the world to get to the truth
