I had some schooling

But they threw me away

For being in prison and refusing to pray

but still I'm greatful

For the things that I've learned

And I learned

You gotta burn

I knew a woman that was nothing but fine

her only weakness was a gallon of wine

Come Home one evening surprised what I find

But I learned

You gotta burn across the sky like a flam

You gotta burn before they give you a name

You gotta burn until the kingdom has came

And they you learn

Some velvet morning you'll wake up and you'll
find

A nest of vipers crawling out of your mind

The sun don't shine with any reason or rhyme

It's time you learn

You gotta learn
