I would lead the wallpaper life
Or run away to the foreign legion
I would lead the wallpaper life
Or run away to the foreign legionAnd as the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy youAs the tanks roll into town
As the tanks roll into town
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy youI don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
I don't know why I feel so skinned aliveHold you till your arms are sore
Until you cannot feel it any more
Hold you till your arms are sore
Until you find an open doorI built you up to pull you down
Tie you to your feet, and watch you drown
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I built you up to pull you down
Tie you to the stake, and watch you crying outI don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
I don't know why I feel so skinned alive
I'll find another skin to wear
I'll find another skin to wear
