Illiterates
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.
You know we can't write (x2)
You know we can't read (x2)
All we do is talk, talk, talk
'Cause we're illiterates, illiterates,
Never learned to spell
Illiterates, illiterates, illiterates,
Gonna go to hell
Teacher says ya can't write (x2)
Teacher says ya can't read (x2)
Go ahead and slit your wrists
In your desk and bleed
'Cause we're illiterates, illiterates,
Never learned to spell
Illiterates, illiterates, illiterates,
Gonna go to hell
Fill me up with chemicals take me for a ride
I don't care where I'm going as long as I arrive
Help me cause somebody pain
Help me rip out my fuckin' brain
'Cause we're illiterates, illiterates,
Never learned to spell
Illiterates, illiterates, illiterates,
Gonna go to hell
