Truth Doesn't Live In A Book Lyrics - Ben Caplin

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

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
