I was born on the banks of 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 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, 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 a thousand times
Not one a keeper
No, I gotta look away

Holyman I said I tell you boy 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

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
