| Transparent people we can see right through
|
| Pass your physical being which does not define you
|
| Your physical action, is a mechanical reaction
|
| To feelings that are too closed to hold!
|
| Your hands and all the busy mechanisms of defense
|
| Guilt in your heart, and your face innocence
|
| I know words coming out of your mouth don’t make sense!
|
| Oh no, you don’t make sense!
|
| The way you’re teaching, and you’re preaching to me
|
| Thinking that you’re reaching, but we realize
|
| That we can see through your lies
|
| It don’t make sense
|
| The way you teach the children all the wrong things
|
| Don’t wanna to grow up, and be no strong team
|
| Realize that they can see through your lies! |
| The wicked mans around me and I
|
| don’t feel no way
|
| No matter what they do, I keep that smile on my face
|
| And watch the waters running, and the children are gon' play
|
| I wish for them the happiness I found along the way!
|
| If I teach them right from wrong and never let them go astray
|
| I never want to see them in the hardships and the pain,
|
| The hardships and the pain!
|
| Oh no, you don’t make sense!
|
| The way you’re teaching, and your preaching to me
|
| Thinking that you’re reaching, but we realize
|
| That we can see through your lies
|
| You can’t judge a book by the color of it’s cover
|
| Think of every woman as your sister or your mother
|
| Now in every man you’re bredren like your father or your brother
|
| And try to do some good for life, we’ll have to further
|
| And you’re walking of it rightiousness in all your days
|
| Will be brighter, uh, so much, so much, so much!
|
| Brighter than that mid day sun, again
|
| Oh no, you don’t make sense!
|
| The way you’re teaching, and your preaching to me
|
| Thinking that you’re reaching, but we realize
|
| That we can see through your lies |
