Hoobastank - Educated Fool lyrics

rate me

As I roll over in my bed, the same old thoughts run through my head

What are you getting up for

I look outside, the night still rules, an incarcerated fool

And my prison cell is school

So I open the door to my new day, bad thoughts should go away

But the morning is so grey

How am I supposed to understand a word they're going to say?

My mind's just not awake

Today's the day I break away from this life of monotony

And I arrive and kick my way to class, sit down

Head down on the fake wood

Instructor starts to speak about the time when man was ape

And though I'm trying really hard, my mind won't cooperate

It tells me where I should be, in the sun where life is carefree

That's when I say, can I just go away and learn some other day?

Cause I can't live by the rules established by the school

An educated fool

People always say to me, go to school so you can be

Listen hard and fill your mind's potential, or lack there of

But sometimes I'm not in class just cause that I will not pass

He walks around and stops at me, my letter comes after "E"

A, D, doesn't matter much to me

A, D, doesn't say shit about me

A, D, doesn't matter much to me

Cause A or D is not me
