Lyrics:
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
I
met a Holyman that 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,
ya 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
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
Gotta
get away
I
wish you would understand
Everybody
prays
Let
me find my own way
