Lyrics
Teach the World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It takes a million people
To build up a good reputation
But it takes one stupid fool
To destroy everything they done
The world knows your people as
The most violent in the world
The world knows your nation as
The most oppresive in the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
Chorus:
Teach the world
Teach them right
It takes a million lives
To get the respect you deserve
When people see your kind
Some of them would run a mile
The world knows your people as
A nation of crooks
Everyone around you should
Always keep their eyes opened
The world knows your nation as
A nation of drug lords
Everyone blames your people
For the destruction of the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
ho ho ho ho ho ho
Chorus till fade
