歌曲歌詞
Our blood runs blue we're loyal men and true
The hope of a new generation
But we don't speak too well
We can't read or add or spell
California couldn't pay our education
Our rooms each fall were crowded wall to wall
Resplendent in squalid privation
And our texts were first-rate back in 1958
California couldn't pay our education
And three years on
When they noticed we were gone
They showered us with consideration
And they transferred our files to the hall of juveniles
California couldn't pay our education
Now we've got great jobs;
I stock the salad bar at Bob's
And I polish knobs at Union Station
And I practice law la la la la la la la
California couldn't pay our education
The proprietor of our local liquor store
Refused our request for a donation
But we changed his mind with a crowbar from behind
California couldn't pay our education
They locked us away for three years and a day
Completing our alienation
But we learned from those men
How to not get caught again
California finally paid our education
