Lyrics:[]

[Verse 1]

Education, fornication, in you are; go

Education, subjugation, now you're out; go

Education, fornication, in you are; go

Don't be late for school again, boy


[Chorus]

I think me, I want a life

I think me, I want a house and a wife

I want to shimmy-shimmy-shimmy

Through the break of dawn, yeah


[Verse 2]

Education, fornication, in you are; go

Education, subjugation, now you're out; go

Education, fornication, in you are; go

Don't be late for school again, girl


[Chorus]

I think me, I want a life

I think me, I want a house and a wife

I want to shimmy-shimmy-shimmy

Through the break of dawn, yeah

I think me, I want a life

I think me, I want a house and a wife

I want to shimmy-shimmy-shimmy

Through the break of dawn, yeah


[Bridge]

Indoctrination of a nation

Indoctrination of a nation

Subjugation of damnation

Subjugation of damna-


[Outro]

Don't be late for school again, boy!

Don't be late for school again, girl!

Don't be late for school again, boy!

Don't be late for school again, girl!
