    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!
