Lyrics of Mr tambourine

Mr tambourine man played a song for me 
Why does Mr musician play a song for you ?
I'm crazy 
Crazy people need a tamboriner .

I bet every one in the world is crazy it only matters 
The degree of craziness 

I will not go to the grave because 
When I go to the grave my head will be high 

Wage wage till the dying of the light 
For the light shines brightest in the darkness 
The beauty of all things is when it gets ugly .

Oedipus love

Oedipus love
This love out grows if not handled properly
kind love ,patient love, sweet love, agape love
but Oedipus is contagious good but dangerous 
Bring the sickle and prune the garden.
only elites see the weed in the garden

How can a man keep his way pure and strong 
by getting hide into the word of the Lord or
 by getting enlightened in the elicity of education.
the roots of education are bitter but fruird are sweet .
How do I get rid of hatred and sudden poison in me 
I guess make your pandoraxbox of your child learned in an early age 
Africa , Europe, Australia , America and China
 got to put thus education a first  priority
 because a career is something that has to get in your Pandorax box 

in the early child hood days 
through career guidance and scholar materials 
lest you say I was wrong and the time lapses 

my next neighbour says 
" if education is expensive eat the cash"
this tender and bad love grabs a hold of you like a fire bone disease 
at a tender age and eats up all the generation of humanity 

career guidance,  education , it is you I want 
hustling jobs are a concentration and work on your hobby and talent 
however ethics and integrity and skills is what shapes you.
How you live in the community and the work place .
formal education is education got from home 
informal education from class room
these are the options of the Pandorax box 
they say it takes a whole village to raise a child 

But I see the whole village has been burned down by this nmodern day slavery 
of illiteracy,  hustling .
Have some good and bad 
The world says , true but be the naked trueth
rather than a lie who walks with clothes of truth 

The fate of the lion is the earth ridership
if the lion was to be offered wings to fly 
it would be foolish to refuse .
Allusions , magic is good 
But reality is to be cultivated at a tender age .

love covers multitude of sins 
if I speak in other languages have no love 
I am a longing sound .
what kind of love? , what kind of career.?

Oval window

Elders sit at the fire place 
Members of parliament sit at the parliament 
Pupils sit in class room
Students sit in the lecture room

He that sitteth at the fire place of the elders 
Should not sit to gaze 
But keep the fire burning 
Collecting firewood 
Lest the fire burnsout 

New students light up a candle 
From your colleagues 

Runners pass the touch to the 
Younger generation .
Give a smile to your next neighbour
