lyrics

Don't mistake the means of living for the object of life
we need men not money makers, stand with women for rights
don't misjudge what you don't know
just get involved in the fight
for you
and me

The talented tenth (4x)

These days of cowardice and vacillation
of strident wide voiced wrong and faint hearted compromise
of double faced dallying with the truth and right
who are today guiding the work of the people

The talented tenth (4x)

the best should protect the rest
from mental death of the worst
was brought here by our forefathers floating round' in a hearse
can the transmission of knowledge and education
stand the test of time?

The talented tenth (4x)

These days of cowardice and vacillation
of strident wide voiced wrong and faint hearted compromise
of double faced dallying with the truth and right
who are today guiding the work of the people

I got vultures on my internet
and a klansmen want to date my daughter
but I can depend on C.R.O.E. to fuckin' speak loud
little Babs and Bernadette are gonna make us proud

The talented tenth
