	Lyrics Who said a little knowledge was a bad thing Had better get on and learn some more I've been sorting the wheat from the chaff As I lie on your threshing floor Stop your pulling at the heart strings, poking at the bad things Oooh baby, yeah! Your lying in the garden, giving me a hard on You have yourself a fair affair, oooh baby yeah! Now I've been swimming in these currents for a long while But now your whirlpool is sucking me down You treat me like a daughter, holding onto water Make me feel like I'm going to drown I take the first few steps onto dry land Oh baby like an amphibian Slith'rin' through the shallows, crawling past the gallows Of your mean ol' southern can If change is the only constant, this change I cannot quell I'll have to take these changes in the eye And now the resonance of this change has got me tolling like a bell I'll keep ringing out these changes til I die, ooh baby yeah! Why did you keep on holding onto water When you could see that you might put out my fire Your freedom is essential, mine is existential You never call me a liar, ooh baby yeah!
