No Big 'Ting - 2007 Remaster

Can't seem to sew
 A single hole in my pocket
 Lord, I've tried
 Yeah, money talks
 I should know
 Mine always says, "Goodbye"
 And I know that money can't buy love
 I've parked my speedboat next to some
 This jungleness badboy sufferer
 Yes I have
 Price of an education
 Least now I know it's no big t'ing
 No big thing
 Time for these bootheels to be wanderin'
 Towards those burning sands
 A genetical testimony
 That white boys simply cannot dance
 Can't let that little stuff trip you up
 I'll take the fattest chance
 Now I've got the answer
 To a question no one asked
 So, here's two rules
 I got for you
 Great ones for living under
 First, don't sweat that little shit
 Second is, there ain't no other
 Tattoos, scars, and missing parts
 And all the rich have ever proven
 Is they are to life
 What American Bandstand is to the theory of evolution
 Price of an education
 Least now I know it's no big t'ing
 No big thing
 Who needs the aggrevation
 Least now I know it's no big ting
 Stamps in my passport
 Now they're polaroids and drinkin' stories
 And I've got some good ones
 Now it's getting harder to ignore me
 Now I'm believing half the reason
 Just for leavin'is coming home
 Where ya been
 Who'd ya do
 What'ya done?
 I'll be lounging on the Rivera
 Rivera couch that is...
 When you're surfin' 40 footers
 You don't need no tricks
 The future's looking brigher
 Every beer that I pour in me
 But even this I have to say
 With absolute uncertainty
 Too much exasperation
 Least now I know it's no big t'ing
 No big t'ing
 Price of an education
 Least now I know it's no big ting
 They finally tore the old schoolhouse down
 Forever gone my history
 Yeah, what used to be
 And now when I go drivin' by
 And point where I used to go to school
 I'm pointing at an "A&P"
 All I'm leavin' when it's time to go
 Is my old blue jeans
 an' gold brass zippo
 Teach in turn
 All these secret things I've learned
 And all I got from history
 And careful how you take it
 Is recognize the same mistake
 Everytime you make it
 Price of an education
 Least now I know it's no big t'ing
 No big thing
 Who needs the aggrevation
 Least now I know it's no big ting
