Knockin' On Mine

Alright!

You read common knowledge, stockpile your brain
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
They teach you to fix, needs to be broke
I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke

Go on, tap your mind
Quit knockin' on mine

An English teacher from Vancouver
She asked me to write something for her students
I wrote knowledge adds, wisdom let slide
She says "now really, I wanna tap your mind"

Quit knockin' on mine
Walkin' on, knockin' on mine

Knowledge is power, got your books, go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, I call freedom

Oh, knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Get out

Comic books, the Bible, roadmaps, pornography, anything you wanna read
Go out and sit in a field sometime

Yeah, and quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)

Power, got your books, go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, I, I call freedom

Now quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Hey!

You read common knowledge every day
And you're as common as that newspaper you throw away
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
Won't you ever change, won't you ever learn

Oh, quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Yes sir
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)

Knock, knock, knockin' on mine
Knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock, knock, knockin' on mine
Quit knocking on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock, knock, knockin' on mine
Knock, knock, knockin' on mine
