i wrote this a long time ago. i think it was supposed to be a punk song. it was one of my earlier songs, from a simpler time. if i'm thinking correctly, i probably wrote this when i was no older then 21.

"ILLIGITERATE"

read the book, feed your brain

there's no reason to maintain-

a perfect mind, smart thing to do

a perfect vision like you

(chorus) so read the book you've got the time

you say you don't, you scream and whine

you sit there staring, wasting time

just read the book you illiterate slime!!! arggghhhh!!! (end chorus)

you ask me questions, you already know you make suggestions, no room to grow

you didn't read it, you said you watched the movie

you always drive this point home (in to me)

short term memory, long term waste

you don't remember what you cannot taste

(chorus)

look in the thesauras, your brain is wet but your mind is pourous

encyclopedias and dictionaries are cool

how about you? illiterate fool

you would know if you went to college, and attained the essential "bitch school" knowledge (touche spinal tap!)

read the book, "for what?" you said, "to feed your head", like Ice Cube said

(chorus)

just one book before you die, turn the tv off, get out of this sty

you're wasting brain cells already stored brought to you by the library board

don't make noise, we're trying to study

books to you equals "Elaine" to "Puddy"

(chorus)
