Lyrics:
my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
of the world on the verge of starvation
Sufferin' in the land
And the children are crying for more education
Sufferin' in the land
Let's singin'
Da, da,
Secretary of the Treasure
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of FINE arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out
still fairly sound
I guess Nashville was the roughest
But I know I've said the same about them all
We've received our education
In the cities
of places, a lot of places that you like to go
But believe me if you get an education you can blow
You can all it blow, dig this
Now you tell me if I'm
good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights
But it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh
I
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
Education is an important key,
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
is it Market Street in Philly
Ask most any college Romeo
To complete your education you must go....
Down the old ox road
Though you'll never find
saw my education
It was my indoctrination
Just to be another parking machine
All my sense was breaking
When I missed those other people
'Cause I
teach our kids to read and write
That's the only way to win this fight for life
Education is the goal so
If you wanna be in the know
Ooh, knowledge
sophistication
She don't wanna know about your education
Man she don't care about the United Nations
My baby gone on a rhythm sensation
That's all she ever
my attitude was bad
If I said differently, it'd be a lie
But there's some smarts you learn down in the street
That a college education can't buy
people that I met.
If I had some education
To give me a decent start,
I might have been a doctor or
A master in the arts.
But I used my hands for
had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education
an education you could only be a tramp
Grow 'grain' shoes, no haircut, just plain ole country
Don't worry 'bout the fellows gonna calling you green
Because
I got a good education now and I'm ready for the world, yeah
We've been going together, gonna last forever
And it ain't never gonna change
I'm
education
It was my indoctrination
Just to be another parking machine
All my sense was breaking
When I missed those other people
Cause I knew that I was
an education
And now he's an engineer!
He said: "I know you'll always be a lady
The duty of my darling is to love me all her life
Could an engineer look
burnin'
When the smoke was cleared, their high was gone
Education got important, so important to Victor
A little more important than ripple and weed
of
Other strife an' pretty much acquirin'
Yourself plenty of education
Pretty soon here comes earth birth
'n then why'ready t'put it all t'work
But soon
of knowledge
There ain't no graduation from this kind of education
Back to school
Working vacation in a third world nation
Back to school
Oh, Jan
registration, aviation, easy nation,
Occupation, connotation, revelation, education
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Rosemarie, wouldn't see,
Rosemarie, would.
