Truth Doesn't Live in a Book - Ben Caplan

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
