Lyrics 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 'till 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 'till you try it

Ooh, what we all need, now
Let me show you how

Don′t knock it 'till you try it
Don′t knock it 'till you try it
You play it cool, you stop the fire
Don′t knock it 'till you try it
Yeah

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 'till 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 'till you try it

Ooh, what we all need, now
Let me show you how

Don′t knock it 'till you try it
Don′t knock it 'till you try it
A kid is lucky to survive it
Don't knock it ′till you try it, no
Yeah

Yeah, 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 'till you try it, yeah

Don′t knock it 'till you try it
Don′t knock it 'till you try it
For every kid on every corner
Don′t knock it 'till you try it
Don't, don′t, don′t

Don't knock it ′till you try it
Don't knock it ′till you try it
Don't knock it ′till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it,yeah

Until you try it
Don′t knock it ′till you try it
