Tell me do you really think
That Albert Einstein had more fame than Elvis Presley?
And tell me what you'd rather have
Your face on a coin that you could keep
Or an autograph from me?
And would you rather call the shots
Or be shot by a bullet that isn't dated?
And I'd rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
Oh, it's a dream but it's true
I want to be on stage hit by a shoe, at least that means
At least that means that people know that I'm alive
And tell me do you think that I could moonwalk
Like Michael Jackson or Neil Armstrong and I'm asking you?
And when you're dead you're no longer smart
No longer a part of the world that you created
So I guess I'd still rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
So I guess I'd still rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
I'd rather be famous than educated
