Killer Wants To Go To College II — Paul Simon

Sal

I know youre trying to protect me

Searching for another truth

With your language and your poetry

From my ignorance and youth

Hey I did not come to argue

My life never made much sense

I just wish that I could hug you

Youre my only defense

I dont understand your writing

I could barely sign my name

All I ever learned was fighting

But Im not the only one to blame

The streets were dark with danger

I have to stand up for my friends

In a land where Im a stranger

And the hatred never ends

Inmate

Killer wants to go on t.v.
