Not one a keeper

Older man he said Ill tell you boy
Youve planted rotten seeds
And in a land of happiness
Theyll grow us evil trees
Guided minds, and eyes that will never see
Holyman Ill 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 dont need your spells or the little
Games you try to pull on me

Come to think of it I dont need your religion
-Chorus-

C7  D7  C7  D7  C7  D7  D  C/D       D  C/D       D
I wish you would understand
Everybody prays

Let me find my own way
-Chorus-

C/D                               D
        Let me find my own way    Holy man
C/D                            D     
        ya don't understand     the cuts on me
              C/D         D                 C/D     
they run much deeper      Holy man      you righteous man
D                                  C/D     
I've been shown the way a thousand times  
              D      C/D                  D      C/D
