《California Couldn’t Pay Our Education》歌词

[00:00:00] California Couldn't Pay Our Education - The Foremen

[00:00:11] Our blood runs blue we're loyal men and true

[00:00:16] The hope of a new generation

[00:00:21] But we don't speak too well

[00:00:23] We can't read or add or spell

[00:00:26] California couldn't pay our education

[00:00:36] Our rooms each fall were crowded wall to wall

[00:00:41] Resplendent in squalid privation

[00:00:46] And our texts were first-rate back in 1958

[00:00:52] California couldn't pay our education

[00:01:01] And three years on

[00:01:04] When they noticed we were gone

[00:01:06] They showered us with consideration

[00:01:11] And they transferred our files to the hall of juveniles

[00:01:17] California couldn't pay our education

[00:01:47] Now we've got great jobs;

[00:01:51] I stock the salad bar at Bob's

[00:01:54] And I polish knobs at Union Station

[00:01:59] And I practice law la la la la la la la

[00:02:04] California couldn't pay our education

[00:02:13] The proprietor of our local liquor store

[00:02:19] Refused our request for a donation

[00:02:24] But we changed his mind with a crowbar from behind

[00:02:29] California couldn't pay our education

[00:02:39] They locked us away for three years and a day

[00:02:44] Completing our alienation

[00:02:49] But we learned from those men

[00:02:52] How to not get caught again

[00:02:56] California finally paid our education
