Man Named Truth

[Chorus] Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth I’ll tell you right now that it ain’t no use Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth [Verse 1] Pain was a-huntin' me down but I gave him the slip I left the city through a tunnel and I headed for the sticks With oregano oil and a morphine drip Pain was a-huntin' me down but I gave him the slip [Verse 2] And I fell in love with identical twins They lived thirty-four summers between the two of them I gave one my ego, gave one my id Yeah, I gotta get back to my pretty little twins [Chorus] Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth I’ll tell you right now that it ain’t no use Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth [Verse 3] I was lost for a year in those almond trees The sun was risin' in the south and settin' in the east I was a half awake, I was half asleep I thought I’d never get out of those almond trees [Verse 4] So don’t think too slow in the syrupy sun You’ll get buried alive when the caterpillar comes Tapping your time on a congo drums Just don’t think too slow in the syrupy sun [Verse 5] I met a black-skinned man with an ice cream grin And a blonde Afghan with that heroin We moved to the mountains where the highway ends And I got myself that ice cream grin [Verse 6] So don’t search too long for that Aztec gold Like old Cortez, gonna lose your soul Turn an honest man into Diablo Yeah, don’t trade your soul for no Aztec gold [Chorus] And never buy nothin' from a man named Truth Never buy nothin' from a man named Truth Look in my eyes and you’ll see the proof Don’t ever buy nothing' from a man named Truth [Outro] Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth Don’t ever buy nothin' from a man named Truth
