Paul Westerberg - Knockin on Mine lyrics

Alright You read common knowledge, stockpile your brain You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke Go on, untap your mind Quit knocking 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 Knockin' on mine Get out Comic books, the Bible, road maps, p**nography Anything you wanna read Go out and sit in a field sometime 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 call freedom Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine) You read common knowledge every day. 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 Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine) Yes sir Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine) Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
