[Chorus]
Deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant
It takes a lot more than a little to fix what's bent
Easy to laugh, stupid to cry
It takes the whole damn tribe to raise a child

[Verse 1]
Is this what was meant to be
I'll never know, you'll never know, we'll never
You say the truth is gonna set me free
I'll never know what the truth my really be
And I, I want to raise my child in an isolated area
Outside of this society

[Chorus]
Deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant
It takes a lot more than a little to fix what's bent
Easy to laugh, stupid to cry
It takes the whole damn tribe to raise a child

[Verse 2]
What makеs a man a man
Is his ability to laugh and to cry and to think
What makes a man an animal
Is his instinct to survive, will he survivе?
Will you survive and stay alive
And I, I want to raise my child in an isolated area
Outside of this society
[Chorus]
Deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant
It takes a lot more than a little to fix what's bent
Easy to laugh, stupid to cry
It takes the whole damn tribe to raise a child

[Bridge]
Everybody knows that somethings going down (Something's going down)
Ain't nobody doing nothing, take a look around (Take a look around)
There's a fire burning down the house
All the things to mesmerize
Ain't nobody doing nothing to save the child

[Chorus]
Deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant
It takes a lot more than a little to fix what's bent
Easy to laugh, stupid to cry
It takes the whole damn tribe to raise a child

Deaf, dumb, blind and ignorant
It takes a lot more than a little to fix what's bent
Easy to laugh, stupid to cry
It takes the whole damn tribe to raise a child
