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
-Chorus-
Holyman I tell you man you gotta
Believe in what you see
?Cause its 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
-Chorus-
