Truth Doesn't Live in a Book

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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
