Paul Westerberg - Knocking On Mine

Allright
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, roadmaps, pornography
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)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Quit knocking on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knock knock knockin' on mine
