Lyrics
I had enough of those plastic bags Can't read them daily rags Can't watch, can't listen to trash television, trash television Had enough of counting sheep Buyin' them magazines, read 'em 'n' weep What you read is what you know Gonna write a letter, gonna write a letter home Cut the crap, lose the bling Try a little recreational skulldiving Satellite shopping, inflatable rain Amateur dramatics, amateur dramatics Get off that cellular phone Ain't you got a mind of your own You gotta learn how to use it, learn how to use it, learn how to use it Show me what you got now What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for Change your habits, change the locks Don't be just another kid on the block Know your enemies, know your friends Look for something better, look for something better Big wide world waitin' outside You're never gonna know if you don't give it a try You gotta learn how to use it, learn how to use it, learn how to use it Show me what you got now What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for You always worried about the way you look You're gonna fall for every trick in the book Own little street, own little prison Ah, you never listen, ah, you never listen I want respect, and what is more You ain't getting no key to the door Until you learn how to earn it, learn how to earn it, learn how to earn it Show me what you got now, show me what you got now, show me what you got now What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for What for - yada yada yada yada
