Intro 1
(A major)
Verse 1
Dwayne (A major) was a pain in
the town's rear end.
He blew up the trailer that he grew up in.
Burnt down the church
and the junior high gym.
His own mama wouldn't even blame him.
But (D major) Hillary Clinton says we're to blame.
She says the town ought to feel the shame.
We let Dwayne down when
he need us most.
We pray for him if our church
wasn't toast and suck (A major) .
It takes a village to raise a (D major) nut
We rebuilt the gym
at the junior high school
Dwayne popped the lock with a tire tool
He blew out the windows with a pellet gun
And spray -painted some stuff
about to coach his son
Alber (G major) t Gore says he's appalled
Says Dwayne needs midnight basketball
We need to spend quality time with him
We'd play ball with him at the gym
Wasn't bolted shut
(D major) It takes a village to raise a nut (G major)
It takes a village to raise a nut
It takes tires squealing round a pizza hut
Takes a mama and daddy
sitting on their butts
Takes a principal's office without any guts
It takes a (C major) sorry mayor
and a school that sucks
Takes a lot of police and fire trucks
Takes a high school teacher
who likes being kicked and cut (D major)
It takes a village to raise a nut (G major) (C major) (D major)
We (G major) finally snapped in our senior year
Got in the truck and drank
some cold beer
Followed Dwayne home
from his senior prom
All the way back to his foster home
His (C major) foster mom let us in the door
Said she couldn't deal
with rain no more
Ripped a 40 tux right off of him
When we finished with him,
his jaw was wired shut (D major)
It takes a village to raise a nut (G major)
It takes a village to raise a nut
It takes tires squealing round a pizza hut
Takes a mama and daddy
sitting on their butts
Takes a principal's office without any guts
It takes a (C major) sorry mayor
and a stool that sucks
Takes a lot of police and fire trucks
That's a high school teacher
who likes being kicked and cut (D major)
