I Aint Goin Down to the Well No More
Not to be taken as a simple suggestion
But a warning, to whom it may concern
If knowledge is the key, then I think it's time you learn
For there is not the problem
So leaders are acknowledged, I don't follow them
I turn into another degree
And find the D-O to the C and growing like a tree and

That's the measure of a man
That's the measure of a man
