Five Dollar Bible

[Verse 1]
Spent my youth chasing after gold
Buying things to fill this hole
Bigger houses, faster cars to drive
Still the empty wasn't satisfied

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Tellin' how much money I laid down
Just to find that all I needed could be found

[Chorus]
In a five dollar bible
Someone gave to me
I read it every night before bed
It's really pretty simple
We're the ones who make it hard
It's all right there in black and white and red
Funny how these modern day solutions just can't seem to rival
The wisdom of a fivе dollar bible

[Verse 2]
Self-help groups, philosophiеs
Thousands spent on therapy
Depression, drugs and quick fix pills
No answers in until you get the bill

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If the burning questions still remain
For me the honest answers finally came

[Chorus]
From a five dollar bible
It'll set you free
I read it every night before bed
It's really pretty simple
We're the ones who make it hard
It's all right there in black and white and red
It's funny how these modern day solutions just can't seem to rival
The wisdom of a five dollar bible

[Outro]
It's funny how these modern day solutions just can't seem to rival
The wisdom of a five dollar bible
