Education
Intro:Bb F C Gm *2 C F C F
CIn a deep dark Fjungle Clong time aFgo
CLived a lonesome Fcaveman
DmHe was a solitary GmsoulEm
CAnd he spent his Fplaytime
CChewing meat from Fbones.
CHe didn't know how to Ftalk much
CHe only knew how to Fgroan
Then he Bblifted up his hands and Freached to the sky
CLet out a yell and Gmno one replied.
FBbrustration and torment Ftore him inside
Then he Cfell to the groGmund and he crCied and he crGmied.
But then Deducation Csaved the day.
AmHe learned to speak and Gcommunicate
DEducation Csaved the day.
AmHe thanked God for the Gfriends he made.
C'Cos everybody needs an Feducation
CEverybody needs an Feducation.
DmBlack skin, red skin, Gmyellow or Emwhite,
CEverybody needs to Fread and write
CEverybody needs an Feducation.
Bb F C Gm *2
BbThank the day when that Fprimitive man
Learned to Ctalk with his brothers And Gmlive off the land.
BbHe left his cave and he Fmoved far away
And he Clived with his friends in a house Gmthat they'd made
He Bblearned to think and to Fwork with his brain
And he Castounded his friends with all the Gmknowledge he gained
He Bbwrote it down on a Frock that he found
And he Cshowed all his Gmfriends and they Cpassed it Gmaround
And then Deducation Ccame that day.
AmThe day it came was a Gsacred day.
DEducation Ccame that day
AmHe thanked God for the Gfriends he'd made.
C G C G C G C G
Well Cman built a boat and he Glearned how to sail
And he Ctravelled far and Gwide
Then he Clooked up above saw the Gstars in the sky
ASo he learned how to Cfly.
CThanks to all the mathematiciGans
And the inCventors with their high I.GQ.s
And the proCfessors in their colleges
GTrying to feed me knowledge
AThat I know I'll never Cuse.
BbThank you sir for the Fmillions of words
That you've Chanded me down and you've Gmtold me to learn
BbBut I've got words in Fmy ears and my eyes
I've Cgot so many Gmfacts that CI must memoGmrize
Because Deducation's Cdoing me in
AmI want to stop but my Ghead's in a swim
DEducation Cdrives me insane
AmI can't recall all the Gfacts on my brain.
DEducation Ccame that day
AmThe day it came was a Gsacred day
DEducation Csaved the day
AmHe thanked God for Gall the friends he made.

CYou can teach me about Gbiology,
But Cyou can't tell me what I Gam living for
C'Cos that's still a Gmystery.

CAnd teach me about the stGructure of man,
But Call your endless calGculations
CCan't tell me why GI am.
