You were given all the wisdom You were given all the clues It was written in a long love letter You just didn't get the news Every detail was written out All the poems and prose and law All the wisdom of the prophets Written down up in there on the county jailhouse walls. All the details you would ever need You just didn't heed the calls Scratched out for you to read there On the county jailhouse walls The lunatics know everything While the insane take the fall Yes you'll be able to walk again But first you'll have to crawl Sure, I know you didn't see it yet you were told each one and all The wisdom of America is written down up in there on the county jailhouse walls. -R 06 -TX

-The Wisdom of America
You were given all the wisdom You were given all the clues It was written in a long love letter You just didn't get the news Every detail was written out All the poems and prose and law All the wisdom of the prophets Written down up in there on the county jailhouse walls. All the details you would ever need You just didn't heed the calls Scratched out for you to read there On the county jailhouse walls The lunatics know everything While the insane take the fall Yes you'll be able to walk again But first you'll have to crawl Sure, I know you didn't see it yet you were told each one and all The wisdom of America is written down up in there on the county jailhouse walls. -R 06 -TX
