truth that ole butter knife 

just might save your life 

why bother with lies 

you can’t remember 

 

oh yeah money that’s why

everyone needs survival 

but I don’t think you’re gonna starve 

not with that body  

 

truth yeah you cultivate that honesty

and you can’t keep a job with it 

or a relationship 

but you can live with yourself 

 

and make the political compromises 

only at the end 

about the stuff that’s 

mostly irrelevant
