Transparent people we can see right through Pa** your physical being which does not define you Your physical action, is a mechanical reaction To feelings that are too closed to hold! Your hands and all the busy mechanisms of defense Guilt in your heart, and your face innocence I know words coming out of your mouth don't make sense! Oh no, you don't make sense! The way you're teaching, and you're preaching to me Thinking that you're reaching, but we realize That we can see through your lies It don't make sense The way you teach the children all the wrong things Don't wanna to grow up, and be no strong team Realize that they can see through your lies! The wicked mans around me and I don't feel no way No matter what they do, I keep that smile on my face And watch the waters running, and the children are gon' play I wish for them the happiness I found along the way! If I teach them right from wrong and never let them go astray I never want to see them in the hardships and the pain, The hardships and the pain! Oh no, you don't make sense! The way you're teaching, and your preaching to me Thinking that you're reaching, but we realize That we can see through your lies You can't judge a book by the color of it's cover Think of every woman as your sister or your mother Now in every man you're bredren like your father or your brother And try to do some good for life, we'll have to further And you're walking of it rightiousness in all your days Will be brighter, uh, so much, so much, so much! Brighter than that mid day sun, again Oh no, you don't make sense! The way you're teaching, and your preaching to me Thinking that you're reaching, but we realize That we can see through your lies
