You won’t know much about history
Only the parts we want you to see!
You won’t know much about literature
We’re here to make sure that you stay “pure”
We’ll keep a watch out for ideas “woke”
Ban most of history with one stroke
What a wonderful world this will be!
You won’t know much about geography.
There’s nothin’ much out there for you to see.
You won’t know much about science books.
Logical thinking is a commie hook.
The hist’ry they’ve been teaching is a joke.
We know the slaves were very happy folk.
What a wonderful world this will be!
bridge:
You don’t need to be an “A” student.
Don’t try to be.
Ignore ideas that make you sad, baby,
Happy ignorance will make you free!
We’ll teach our chi-il-dren how to be
Straight-laced Americans, white and free.
Don’t let them think about the other folk
Who disagree with us, they’re all too “woke”!
Just trust that we know what’s best for all.
Nobody else can ever make the call.
What a wonderful world this will be!
