No Big 'Ting

Can't seem to sew a single hole
In my pocket, Lord, I've tried
Yeah, money talks, I should know
Mine always says, goodbye

And I know that money can't buy love
I've parked my speedboat next to some
This jungleness bad boy sufferer
Yes, I have

Price of an education
'Least now I know
It's no big t'ing
No big t'ing

Time for these boot heels to be wanderin'
Towards those burnin' sands
A genetical testimony
That white boys simply cannot dance

Can't let that little stuff trip you up
I'll take the fattest chance
Now I've got the answer
To a question no one asked

So, here's two rules, I got for you
Great ones for livin' under
First, don't sweat the little shit
Second is, there ain't no other

Tattoos, scars and missin' parts
And all the rich have ever proven
Is they are to life
What American Bandstand is
To the theory of evolution

Price of an education
'Least now I know
It's no big t'ing
No big t'ing

Who needs the aggravation
It all adds up
To no big t'ing
No big t'ing

Stamps in my passport
Now they're Polaroids and drinkin' stories
And I've got some good ones
Now it's gettin' harder to ignore me

Now I'm believin' half the reason
Just for leavin' is comin' home
What'd you see and who'd you do
What you done?

I'll be loungin' on the Rivera
Rivera couch that is
When you're surfin' 40 footers
You don't need no tricks

Future's lookin' brighter
Every beer that I pour in me
Even this I have to say
With absolute uncertainty

Too much exasperation
'Least now I know
It's no big t'ing
No big t'ing

Price of an education
'Least now I know
It's no big t'ing
No big t'ing

No big t'ing, no big t'ing

They finally tore
The old schoolhouse down
Forever gone my history
Yeah, what used to be

And now when I go drivin' by
And point where I
Used to go to school
I'm pointin' at an A&P

All I'm leavin' when it's time to go
Is my old blue jeans, an' gold
Brass Zippo, teach in turn
All these secret things I've learned

And all I got from history
And careful how you take it
Is recognize the same mistake
Every time you make it

Price of an education
'Least now I know
It's no big t'ing
No big t'ing

Who needs the aggravation
It all adds up
To no big t'ing
No big t'ing
