[00:01.88]
[00:18.88] Oh I am just a student, sir
[00:21.17] And only want to learn
[00:23.70] But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke
[00:25.94] Of the books that you like to burn
[00:28.49] So I'd like to make a promise
[00:30.46] And I'd like to make a vow
[00:32.45] That when I've got something to say, sir
[00:34.78] I'm gonna say it now
[00:39.00] Oh you've given me a number
[00:40.88] And you've taken off my name
[00:43.45] To get around this campus
[00:45.39] Why, you almost need a plane
[00:47.83] And you're supporting Chang Kai-Shek
[00:51.00] While I'm supporting Mao
[00:52.14] So when I've got something to say, sir
[00:54.45] I'm gonna say it now
[00:58.85] I wish that you'd make up your mind
[01:01.00] I wish that you'd decide
[01:03.19] That I should live as freely
[01:05.37] As those who live outside
[01:08.39] Cause we also are entitled
[01:10.60] To the rights to be endowed
[01:13.80] And when I've got something to say, sir
[01:15.10] I'm gonna say it now
[01:19.24] Ooh, you'd like to be my father
[01:21.59] You'd like to be my Dad
[01:23.78] And give me kisses when I'm good
[01:25.76] And spank me when I'm bad
[01:29.26] But since I've left my parents
[01:31.82] I've forgotten how to bow
[01:33.58] So when I've got something to say, sir
[01:36.30] I'm gonna say it now
[01:42.45] And things they might be different
[01:44.76] If I was here alone
[01:48.60] But I've got a friend or two
[01:49.37] Who no longer live at home
[01:51.47] And we'll respect our elders
[01:53.69] Just as long as they allow
[01:55.96] That when I've got something to say, sir
[01:58.15] I'm gonna say it now
[02:03.32] I've read of other countries
[02:05.40] Where the students take a stand
[02:07.23] Maybe even help to overthrow
[02:09.55] The leaders of the land
[02:12.68] Now I wouldn't go so far to say
[02:15.31] We're also learnin' how
[02:17.41] But when I've got something to say, sir
[02:19.22] I'm gonna say it now
[02:23.59] So keep right on a-talkin'
[02:25.10] And tell us what to do
[02:27.40] If nobody listens
[02:29.36] My apologies to you
[02:32.42] And I know that you were younger once
[02:34.82] 'cause you sure are older now
[02:37.33] And when I've got something to say, sir
[02:39.16] I'm gonna say it now
[02:43.56] So I am just a student, sir
[02:45.73] And only want to learn
[02:48.12] But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke
[02:50.62] Of the books that you like to burn
[02:53.68] So I'd like to make a promise
[02:54.99] And I'd like to make a vow
[02:57.38] That when I've got something to say, sir
[02:59.62] I'm gonna say it now
