Beauty is truth,
Truth, beauty.
I’m not sure about that,
Because if I don’t have my coffee…
Bad stuff will happen.
That’s some truth right there my friend.

Coffee is truth,
Coffee is life,
Coffee is our first, best hope for discourse,
It’s our means to have a meaningful dialogue…
And God help you if you start some shit before I’ve had it.
I’m just saying… take two steps back bro.

Coffee brings people to the table,
Ask me a sensible question at 7am?  Sure.
Do that with coffee, God bless you my friend,
I’m happy to help you.
Do that without the Columbian nectar of life,
What in the hell were you thinking?

Controversy without caffeine?
Do you have a death wish?
Jump off a building…
Save me the effort, please.
Put coffee in my hand,
Welcome friend, good to see you.

Coffee builds bridges.
Coffee removes barriers,
Coffee overcomes obstacles,
Coffee creates… possibilities.
Coffee doesn’t discriminate,
Coffee is everyone’s friend…
And it can be yours too…

Give the Columbian’s their due,
Respect the roast,
Have a cup,
Settle your differences.
Withhold it and open up controversy?
You may as well paint a bullseye on your chest…
…and I’m a really good shot.

Coffee speaks the truth,
Coffee identifies the ill-informed.
Coffee recognizes the thoughtful,
Coffee connotes respect.

A Grecian Urn?
By all means,
Fill that sucker with some French Roast,
Everyone is welcome…
Imagine the possibilities.

Damn… I need some coffee…
