Information keeps us strong
 What you don't know can hurt you bad
 Take it from me you'll be walkin' around sad
 Cryin' for a better day
 Until you educate for a better way
 So if you wanna be in control
 Ya gotta get yourself in the know

 CHORUS:
 Get the knowledge
 That you really want
 The knowledge
 Do you really want
 It's the knowledge
 What you really want
 The knowledge
 That you really want

 Spreading vise don't believe the hype
 You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
 Too many lives go up in smoke
 It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
 To get over get better
 Try to be the possessor
 Of the one thing we all need in life
 To succeed take my advice
 Chorus
 Prejudice No!
 Ignorance No!
 Bigotry No!
 Illiteracy No!
 Listen it's up to everyone
 If we're gonna change the way the world is run
 The way to start is to rid the children of
 Prejudice & ignorance
 We've gotta teach our kids to read & write
 That's the only way to win this fight for life
 Education is the goal so
 If you wanna be in the know
 get the knowledge
 It's the one thing we all need in life

 CHORUS
