Can't seem to sew

A single hole in my pocket

Lord, I've tried

Yeah, money talks

I should know



Mine always says, "Goodbye"

And I know that money can't buy love

I've parked my speedboat next to some

This jungleness badboy sufferer

Yes I have

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big t'ing



No big thing

Time for these bootheels to be wanderin'

Towards those burning sands

A genetical testimony

That white boys simply cannot dance

Can't let that little stuff trip you up

I'll take the fattest chance

Now I've got the answer

To a question no one asked

So, here's two rules

I got for you



Great ones for living under

First, don't sweat that little shit

Second is, there ain't no other

Tattoos, scars, and missing parts

And all the rich have ever proven

Is they are to life

What American Bandstand is to the theory of evolution

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big t'ing



No big thing

Who needs the aggrevation

Least now I know it's no big ting

Stamps in my passport

Now they're polaroids and drinkin' stories

And I've got some good ones

Now it's getting harder to ignore me

Now I'm believing half the reason

Just for leavin'is coming home

Where ya been

Who'd ya do

What'ya done?



I'll be lounging on the Rivera

Rivera couch that is...

When you're surfin' 40 footers

You don't need no tricks

The future's looking brigher

Every beer that I pour in me

But even this I have to say

With absolute uncertainty

Too much exasperation

Least now I know it's no big t'ing

No big t'ing

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big ting

They finally tore the old schoolhouse down

Forever gone my history

Yeah, what used to be



And now when I go drivin' by

And point where I used to go to school

I'm pointing at an "A&P"

All I'm leavin' when it's time to go

Is my old blue jeans

an' gold brass zippo

Teach in turn

All these secret things I've learned

And all I got from history

And careful how you take it

Is recognize the same mistake

Everytime you make it

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big t'ing

No big thing

Who needs the aggrevation

Least now I know it's no big ting
