The liar tells me not to lie
The thief says don't you steal
But I'm only taking what is mine
And I let the truth prevail
A wise man once
Who journeyed long and seen so many times
Seen so many worlds collide
He looked me eye to eye and he said

Advice is advice even from a hypocrite
Advice can be right, don't matter what they do with it
Advice is advice even from a hypocrite
Advice can be right, just matters what you do with it

Well I can't take a liar's word
Or accept things from a thief
Cause you don't know what you can't trust
Well it don't sit right with me
The crook still wears a metal badge
And takes authority
As he hunts and locks away
The villains and the thieves
He says

Advice is advice even from a hypocrite
Advice can be right, don't matter what they do with it
Advice is advice even from a hypocrite
Advice can be right, just matters what you do with it
