Knocking On Mine Lyrics - Paul Westerberg

Alright, you read common knowledge, stockpile your brain 

You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain 

What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke 

I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke 

Go on, untap your mind 

Quit knocking on mine 

An English teacher from Vancouver 

She asked me to write something for her students 

I wrote knowledge adds, wisdom let slide 

She says now really, I wanna tap your mind 

Quit knockin' on mine 

Walkin' on, knockin' on mine 

Knowledge is power, got your books go read 'em 

Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity I call freedom 

Knockin' on mine, get out 

Comic books, the Bible, road maps, pornography 

Anything you wanna read 

Go out and sit in a field sometime 

Quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Power, got your books, go read 'em 

Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, I call freedom 

Quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

You read, common, knowledge everyday 

You're as common as that newspaper you throw away 

You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain 

Won't you ever change? Won't you ever learn? 

Quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Yes, sir, quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Quit knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Knock, knock, knockin' on mine 

Knockin' on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Knock, knock, knockin' on mine 

Quit knocking on mine 

(Knockin' on mine) 

Knock, knock, knockin' on mine 

Knock, knock, knockin' on mine
