(Hope its okay to post this here..... it is political and relevant)

Great song from a great album “Innervisions”. Somebody made this video with lyrics 5 years ago. Lyrics also below.

Lyrics:

He's a man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Playin' hard, talkin' fast
Makin' sure that he won't be last
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Makes a deal with a smile
Knowin' all the time that his lie's a mile
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Must be seen there's no doubt
He's the coolest one with the biggest mouth
He's Misstra Know-It-All
When you tell him he's livin' fast
He will say, "What do you know?"
If you had my kind of cash
You'd have more than one place to go, ooh
Any place he will play
His only concern is how much you'll pay
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If he shakes on a bet
He's the kind of dude that won't pay his debt, oh
He's Misstra Know-It-All
When you say that he's livin' wrong
He'll tell you he knows he's livin' right
And you'd be a stronger man
If you took Misstra Know-It-All's advice, ooh, ooh
He's the man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Take my word, please beware
Of a man that just don't give a care, no
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Say, he's Misstra Know-It-All
Can his mind take a pain
Take your hat off to the man who's got the plan, yeah
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Every boy take your hand out
To the man that's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
That you know he's got the plan, hey, hey, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Don't you know damn well he's got the super plan, hey, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
You know damn well he's got the super plan, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If we had less of him
Don't you know we'd have a better land
He's Misstra Know-It-All
So give a hand to the man
Although you've given out as much as you can
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Check his sound out, he'll tell it all, hey
You talk too much, you worry me to death, hey, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
He's Misstra Know-It-All
