Songtext von I Was Educated By Myself

I can't buy the lie and it don't matter Even though I try to keep my health It all seems the same, such a silly game Played by silly fools who don't even follow their own rules But oh, when the sunshine follows me around Lifts my feet and takes me from the ground High enough to see the shelf And know that I was educated by myself I have seen the streets groaning, not battered Though amongst us all, we kept our wealth And though the rain goes pitter-patter, It don't change the pain that we all felt But oh, when the sunshine follows us around Lifts our feet and takes us from the ground, High enough for us to tell That we were educated by ourselves It's a simple dream, a common pattern A universal scheme for us to sell And though it's a long, long way between Mars and Saturn, But right here on Earth, we know so well That all we need is sunshine on the ground And smiles and smiles and smiles from frown to frown Just enough for us to yell That we were educated by ourselves
