Educated fool

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
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
