Education

Call it education It was somewhere in between You gave me some sound advice But I wasn't listening
After we had capsized I could tell you how you thought Well, I'm not sure But laid to rest on the city on the wall
Not quite conversation It was somewhere in between You said everything is taught
And I listened patiently
All this talking pony Still monkies the whole time We could not help from flinging shit
In our modern suits and ties Our instincts, they were cringing About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem we'd lived enough To even get to die All these diss distractions So beautifully complex
Well, I loved life's surprises so muchI don't want to know what's happened Stubborn shouting, said "I don't do what you do "I don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care?
And you don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I've been away
Hardly education It was somewhere in between Oh, I hit the roof but I had Aimed for the ceiling
Hardly education All them books I didn't They just sat there on my shelf
Looking much smarter than me Good old Nostradamus He knew the whole damn time That always being east from west Someone is there fighting
Stubborn shouting, said "I don't do what you do" I don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care? And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I've been away
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beautyI don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care? And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Uh.. I fell awayStubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
