Information Too $hort

[Chorus]
Information - can you buy it? Can you sell it?
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it?
Just like History class when you're in school
You grow up and learn the truth, you're just a fool

[Verse 1]
Ask the Native Americans, Mexicans, and Africans
The things you lost, would you rather get 'em back again?
I tried so hard to believe you
But we all know the things that Europeans do
Now what if the Asians, Africans, and Indians
Never taught you nothin', you would still be primitive
What we all need is self-education
That's the only way to educate this nation
The good old USA
Built on lies from back in the days
Great Britain, France, and Spain got bold
Destroyed the New World lookin' for gold

[Chorus]
Now, information - can you buy it? Can you sell it?
And if you really knew the truth, would you tell it?
Just like History class when you're in school
You grow up and learn the truth, you're just a fool
