Lyrics for 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 Destroyed my people Destroyed for lack of knowledge Oh, 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 y'know I gotta piss off People should be pissed off People should be pissed off For lack of knowledge Oh read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read and And learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn 'Cause there is no tomorrow like today And there is 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 that She don't know nothing 'bout nothing like that Destroyed my people Destroyed my people Destroyed for lack of knowledge Oh learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn everything you can learn And read, read, read, read, read, read, read everything you can read 'Cause there is no tomorrow like today And there is no today like tomorrow They will stick you and they will stick you
