Don't Knock It 'Til You Try It - The Hooters

A kid is killed on any corner

From Brooklyn Heights to California

There's different ways of gettin' higher

Don't knock it 'til you try it

The summer's hot, the winter's longer

An angry wind is getting stronger

You play it cool, you stop the fire

Don't knock it 'til you try it

What we all need, now

Let me show you how

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

You play it cool, you stop the fire

Don't knock it 'til you try it

They build a wall around a city

It's not for looks, it isn't pretty

A kid will take his chance and climb it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Well, no one really has to suffer

Tear down the walls around each other

A kid is lucky to survive it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

What we all need, now

Let me show you how

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

A kid is lucky to survive it

Don't knock it 'til you try it, no

Let me show you how

For every kid on every corner

I see a wall that stands no longer

The words are written down beside it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

For every kid on every corner

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't, don't, don't

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it

Until you try it

Don't knock it 'til you try it
