lyrics

LYRICS:
How can we sow the seeds of knowledge
If we have no fertile ground?
If the kids can’t read in the forest
Will they still not make a sound?
Who will teach the children to read?
Certainly not our schools
They’re full of braindead zombie freaks
Who breed non-reading fools

The Children Can’t Read (x6)
They’re all illiterate (All illiterate)

The next time you take a Sunday drive
Try to read the signs you’re passing by
“Stop,” “No Parking,” “No Diving in the Pool”
It’s more than what some kids read during
high school
Let’s go to the library!
No, wait what’s the point?
None of us can read a word in the whole
freaking joint

The Children Can’t Read (x6)
They’re all illiterate (All illiterate)

What we need is understanding
During the fast part of the song
Let’s write the wrongs before us
So they’re no longer wrong
Take a look, it’s in a book
Like the blind guy in Star Trek said
Read a book, read a book
Literacy cannot be dead

The Children Can’t Read (All illiterate) (x6)
They’re all illiterate (All illiterate)

But perhaps more importantly, The KMX Band is the only Traditional Metal band in the world that will sing about robots, tigers, demons and chocolate. ... more
