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 and 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 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 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 you love yourself
That's what'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 you put your dick in
Ain't nothing wrong with'a 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
C'mon!
You find it in the little surprises
Yeas
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
Ya find it in the little, surprises
You've got to focus the view
...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
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 and rigorous and constant
Interpretation!
