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 bad boy sufferer

Yes, I have

Price of an education

'Least now I know

It's no big t'ing

No big t'ing

Time for these boot heels to be wanderin'

Towards those burnin' 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 livin' under

First, don't sweat the little shit

Second is, there ain't no other

Tattoos, scars and missin' 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 t'ing

Who needs the aggravation

It all adds up

To no big t'ing

No big t'ing

Stamps in my passport

Now they're Polaroids and drinkin' stories

And I've got some good ones

Now it's gettin' harder to ignore me

Now I'm believin' half the reason

Just for leavin' is comin' home

What'd you see and who'd you do

What you done?

I'll be loungin' on the Rivera

Rivera couch that is

When you're surfin' 40 footers

You don't need no tricks

Future's lookin' brighter

Every beer that I pour in me

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 t'ing

No big t'ing

No big t'ing, no big t'ing

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 pointin' 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

Every time you make it

Price of an education

'Least now I know

It's no big t'ing

No big t'ing

Who needs the aggravation

It all adds up

To no big t'ing

No big t'ing
