I didn't come to tell you 'bout the crucifix
I didn't come to tell you 'bout a 666
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the Holy Grail
I didn't come to tell you 'bout a President Quail

I didn't come to tell you 'bout the hexagrams
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the 12 step programs

(Don't) listen to me

I didn't come to tell what you're gonna find
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the wisdom mind

I didn't come to tell you not to swallow that baloney
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the fish that played the ponies

I didn't come to give you any good advice
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the antichrist
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the love that's overflowing
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the cloud of unknowing
I didn't come to tell you what the future's gonna bring
I didn't come to tell you 'bout the Tao Te Ching
I didn't come to tell you how to set yourself free
I didn't come to tell you not to listen to me

I didn't come to tell you how to stop that war
I didn't come to tell you what you're fighting for
I didn't come to tell you you don't have to feel ashamed
It doesn't really matter 'cause the song remains the same
