The Knowledge Songtext

von Janet Jackson

Insight to what's goin' on
Information keeps us strong
What you don't know can't hurt you bad
Take it from me you'll be walkin' around sad
Cryin' for a better day
Until you educate for a better way
So if you wanna be in control
Ya gotta get yourself in the know

Chorus:
Get the knowledge
(that you really want)
The knowledge
(do you really want)
It's the knowledge
(what you really want)
The knowledge
(that you really want)

Spreading vise don't believe the hype
You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
Too many lives go up in smoke
It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
To get over get better
Try to be the possessor
Of the one thing we all need in life
To succeed take my advice

*chorus*

Prejudice...No!
Ignorance...No!
Bigotry...No!
Illiteracy...No!

Listen it's up to everyone
If we're gonna change the way the world is run
The way to start is to rid the children of
Prejudice & ignorance
We've gotta teach our kids to read & write
That's the only way to win this fight for life
Education is the goal so
If you wanna be in the know
Get the knowledge
It's the one thing we all need in life

*chorus*

Interlude :
Let's Dance
