歌曲名 I Was Educated By Myself

歌手名 Richie Havens

I can t buy the lie and it don t matter

Even though I try to keep my health

It all seems the same such a silly game

Played by silly fools who don t even follow their own rules

But oh when the sunshine follows me around

Lifts my feet and takes me from the ground

High enough to see the shelf

And know that I was educated by myself

I have seen the streets groaning not battered

Though amongst us all we kept our wealth

And though the rain goes pitter-patter

It don t change the pain that we all felt

But oh when the sunshine follows us around

Lifts our feet and takes us from the ground

High enough for us to tell

That we were educated by ourselves

It s a simple dream a common pattern

A universal scheme for us to sell

And though it s a long long way between Mars and Saturn

But right here on Earth we know so well

That all we need is sunshine on the ground

And smiles and smiles and smiles from frown to frown

Just enough for us to yell

That we were educated by ourselves

That we were educated by ourselves

educated by ourselves
