When I was back in high school 
They said boy try and make some sense 
Grow up and be a consumer 
And not a dissident 
Don't worry 'bout the system 
Just watch out for yourself 
It sounded just like the wisdom 
That comes straight out of Hell 
They said (shut up) don't make no ripples 
(Shut up) don't raise no stink 
I heard so much of their drivel 
It's a wonder I can think 

Don't give me that 
I want the truth 
Don't say for fact 
What is only point of view 
Don't give me that 
I've had enough 
We best get back to what was written 
In the, in the Book of love 

Well, when I went to college 
They said boy get this straight 
You're just a tailless monkey 
You're a hairless ape 
We're on a scary evolutionary stairway 
Who knows where 
Trusting higher education 
To get us all there 
There ain't no values no morals 
There's no rights and no wrongs 
Never knowing where we're going 
Well it's hard to go wrong 

Don't give me that 
I want the truth 
Don't say for fact 
What is only your point of view 
Don't give me that 
I've had enough 
We best get back to what was written 
In the, in the, in the Book of love 
(Higher) 
(Higher) 
(Higher education and the Book of Love) 

When I came to my senses 
At the foot of the cross 
I saw the wisdom that comes 
From the fear of God 
How it is pure it loves peace 
It's full of mercy and good fruit 
It had the power to free me 
The power of the truth 
Like a setting of silver 
On an apple of gold 
Is a word aptly spoken 
Is the truth clearly told 

Now give me that 
'Cause that's the truth 
It's bigger than fact 
It's broader than your point of view 
Now give me that 
Can't get enough 
When we get back to what was written 
In the, in the Book of love 

Now give me that 
Cause that's the truth 
It's bigger than fact 
It's broader than your, your point of view 
Now give me that 
Can't get enough 
When we get back to what was written 
In the, in the Book of love
