Hoobastank Educated Fool song lyrics

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

cause i'm the educated fool

so i open the door to a new day

bad thoughts should go away

but the morning is so gray

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 me, 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 schools

and educated fool

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

listen hard and fill your mind's potential, or lack thereof

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"

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 schools

and educated fool

(fool)

a, d, doesn't matter much to me

a, d, don't say shit about me

a, d, doesn't matter much to me

cause a or d is not me

cause i can't live by the rules established by the schools

and educated fool

a or d is not me

no it ain't

cause a or d is not me
