No Big 'Ting

Can't seem to sew a single hole in my pocket

Lord, I've tried

Yeah, money talks, I should know

Mine always says, "Goodbye"

And I know that money can't buy love

I've parked my speedboat next to some

This jungleness badboy sufferer

Yes, I have

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big 'ting

No big thing

Time for these bootheels to be wanderin'

Towards those burning sands

A genetical testimony

That white boys simply cannot dance

Can't let that little stuff trip you up

I'll take the fattest chance

And now I've got the answer

To a question no one asked

So, here's two rules I got for you

Great ones for living under

First, don't sweat the little shit

Second is, there ain't no other

Tattoos, scars and missing parts

And all the rich have ever proven

Is they are to life

What American Bandstand is to the theory of evolution

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big 'ting

No big thing

Who needs the aggravation?

It all adds up to no big 'ting

No big thing

Stamps in my passport

Now they're Polaroids and drinkin' stories

And I've got some good ones now

It's getting harder to ignore me

Now I'm believing half the reason

Just for leavin' is coming home

What'd you see and who'd ya do

And what'ya done?

I'll be lounging on the Rivera

Rivera couch that is

When you're surfin' 40 footers

You don't need no tricks

The future's looking brighter

With every beer that I pour in me

But even this I have to say

With absolute uncertainty

Too much exasperation

Least now I know it's no big thing

No big thing

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big thing

No big thing

(No big thing)

(No big thing)

They finally tore the old schoolhouse down

Forever gone my history

Yeah, what used to be

And now when I go drivin' by

And point where I used to go to school

I'm pointing at an A&P

All I'm leaving when it's time to go

Is my old blue jeans and gold brass zippo

Teach in turn

All these secret things I've learned

And all I got from history

And careful how you take it

Is recognize the same mistake

Every time you make it

Price of an education

Least now I know it's no big 'ting

No big thing

Who needs the aggravation?

It all adds up to no big 'ting

No big thing
