Holyman Lyrics - Blind Melon - Blind Melon

I was born on the banks off a hot muddy river 

The child of one stupid steamy night 

Born to roam beneath the sun 

What do you think of me, I'm better left alone 

Yeah 

Said I met a Holyman who said that he knew the way 

And he'd like to show me so my life won't go astray 

Take my hand child, now little boy don't you be afraid 

I'll take your soul and walk on water 

Holyman, you don't understand 

The cuts on me they run much deeper 

Holyman, you righteous man 

I've been shown the way a thousand times 

Not one a keeper 

Older man he said I'll tell you boy 

You've planted rotten seeds 

And in a land of happiness 

They'll grow us evil trees 

Guided minds 

And eyes that will never see 

Holyman I'll tell you 

Just what it is that I believe 

Holyman, you don't understand 

The cuts on me they run much deeper 

Holyman, you righteous man 

I've been shown the way 

Not one a keeper 

No, I gotta run away 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Holyman, I said I tell you why you gotta 

Believe in what you see 

'Cause it's you that corrupt us man and 

Deep throat philosophy 

I don't need your spells or the little 

Games you try to pull on me 

Come to think of it 

I don't need your religion 

So I gotta get away 

I wish you would understand 

Everybody prays 

Let me find my own 

Let me find my own way 

Holyman, you don't understand 

The cuts on me they run much deeper 

Holyman, you righteous man 

I've been shown the way 

Not one a keeper 

Not one a keeper 

Not one a keeper 

Not one a keeper
