Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

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
I think me, I want life
I think me, I want a house and a wife
I want to shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
Through the break of dawn, yeah
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
I think me, I want 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 life
I think me, I want a house and a wife
I want to shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
Through the break of dawn, yeah
Indoctrination of a nation
Indoctrination of a nation
Subjugation of damnation
Subjugation of damna-
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
