Lack Of Knowledge
I'm not doing something I'm supposed to do
I'm doing something I'm not supposed to
I don't know about that
I don't know about that
I don't know nothing 'bout nothing like that
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed for lack of knowledge
I wonder if I'm happy
I wonder if I'm mad
I wonder why the whole wide world is so wonderfully sad
I don't know 'bout that, but I can tell you this
That when I drink a lot of beer you know I gotta piss off
People should be pissed off
People should be pissed off
For lack of knowledge
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read (read)
And, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn (learn)
'Cause there is no tomorrow like today
And there's no today like tomorrow
And they will stick you
And they will stick you in the end
She not doing something she supposed to do
She doing something she not supposed to
I don't know about that
She don't know about
She don't know nothing like, nothing like that
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed for lack of knowledge
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn (learn)
And read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read (read)
But there's no tomorrow like today
And there's no today like tomorrow
They will stick you
And they will stick you
I'm doing something I'm not supposed to
I don't know about that
I don't know about that
I don't know nothing 'bout nothing like that
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed for lack of knowledge
I wonder if I'm happy
I wonder if I'm mad
I wonder why the whole wide world is so wonderfully sad
I don't know 'bout that, but I can tell you this
That when I drink a lot of beer you know I gotta piss off
People should be pissed off
People should be pissed off
For lack of knowledge
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read (read)
And, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn (learn)
'Cause there is no tomorrow like today
And there's no today like tomorrow
And they will stick you
And they will stick you in the end
She not doing something she supposed to do
She doing something she not supposed to
I don't know about that
She don't know about
She don't know nothing like, nothing like that
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed my people are
Destroyed for lack of knowledge
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn (learn)
And read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read (read)
But there's no tomorrow like today
And there's no today like tomorrow
They will stick you
And they will stick you
