letra de truth doesn't live in a book - ben caplan

[intro]
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 hammer-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…

[verse 1]
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 everyday
always keep your hockey stick on the ice
if you wanna cut once ya better measure it twice
there’s no such thing as a lunch that’s really free

[verse 2]
an eye for an eye means fair compensation
it doesn’t mean take at bombs with another nation
anything written down can be twisted of course
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 the work gotten

[chorus]
truth doesn’t live in a book
ya find it in the little surprises
the good book is only a lens to focus a view
‘justice for all’ is composed of the ugliest compromises
ya can’t only look at the lens, you gotta look through
[verse 3]
there’s no such thing as a virgin conception
every good rule has a notable exemption
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 d-ck in
ain’t nothing wrong with h0m-s-xuality

[verse 4]
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
ill-strate cultural insensitivity

[bridge]
truth doesn’t live in a book
ya find it in the little surprises
the good book is only a lens to focus a view
‘justice for all’ is composed of the ugliest compromises
ya can’t only look at the lens, you gotta look through
[outro]
truth does not live in a book
you find it in the little surprises, woah
ya gotta focus a view, for all
is the power! the soul! money! ugly
compromises! ya gotta look through

you have to live in the world to get to the truth
