There was a man down south, he was named July
He tried to vote and that's why he died
It was in Ocoee they run him down
Hung him from a tree burned the town to the ground
To bury the truth, but it was found
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
The truth ain't gonna die
The sunshine state's gonna make you pay
If you're different in any kinda way
A mouse took a punch at Pinocchio
Disguised as a governor to dumb to know
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
The truth ain't gonna die
The kids down there don't fear the past
They might learn something that'll come to last
They're not afraid of no boogie man
And don't wanna hide their heads in the sand
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
The truth ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Ain't gonna die
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
Don't teach no lies
