Voice Like A Nova

How long will you simple ones,
Live your simple ways
And fools hate knowledge,
We should think before we say

The animal, the animal has overtaken, you deserve it
Disaster, disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, a whirlwind

Wisdom calls out in the street,
A voice is raised in public
At the head of noisy streets,
She will speak
In the gateways of the city,
She cries out

We ignore it something so important
We ignore it so easy to permit

How long will you foolish ones,
Live your simple ways
And simple ones hate knowledge,
We should think before we say
