Voice Like a Nova Lyrics

How long will you simple ones
Live your simple ways?
And fools hate knowledge
We should think before we say

The animal, the animal has overtaken
You deserve it
Disaster, disaster sweeps over you
Like a whirlwind, a whirlwind

Wisdom calls out in the street
A voice is raised in public
At the head of noisy streets, she will speak
In the gateways of the city, she cries out

We ignore it
It was something so important
We ignore it
So easy to permit

How long will you foolish ones
Live your simple ways?
And simple ones hate knowledge
We should think before we say

The animal, the animal has overtaken
You deserve it
Disaster, disaster sweeps over you
Like a whirlwind, a whirlwind

Wisdom calls out in the street
A voice is raised in public
At the head of noisy streets, she will speak
In the gateways of the city, she cries out

We ignore it
Something so important
We ignore it
So easy to permit
