Education Lyrics
[Intro]
(Ha-ha...)
[Verse 1]
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'd fall
Well, I'm not sure if I lay to rest
On the ceiling or the wall
[Verse 2]
Not quite conversation
It was somewhere in between
You said everything is taught
And I listened patiently
All this dog and pony
We're still monkeys the whole time
We could not help from flingin' shit
In our modern suits and ties
[Verse 3]
Our instincts, they were cringin'
About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem we'd lived enough
To even get to die
All these dense distractions
So beautifully complex
Well, I love life's surprises so much
I don't want to know what's ahead, —ead
(Ha-ha...)
[Verse 1]

I could tell you how you'd fall
Well, I'm not sure if I lay to rest
On the ceiling or the wall
[Verse 2]
Not quite conversation
It was somewhere in between
You said everything is taught
And I listened patiently

We're still monkeys the whole time
We could not help from flingin' shit
In our modern suits and ties
[Verse 3]
Our instincts, they were cringin'
About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem we'd lived enough
To even get to die
All these dense distractions
So beautifully complex
Well, I love life's surprises so much

[Chorus]
Stubborn shouted, and said
"I don't do what you do," I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well
[Verse 4]
Hardly education
It was somewhere in between
Oh, I hit the roof but I had
Aimed for the ceiling
[Verse 5]
Hardly education
All them books I didn't read
They just sat there on my shelf
Lookin' much smarter than me
Good ol' Nostradamus
He knew the whole damn time
There'd always be an east from west
And someone in them fightin'
[Chorus]
Stubborn shouted, and said
"I don't do what you do," I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well
Stubborn shouted, and said
"I don't do what you do," I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well
[Verse 4]
Hardly education
It was somewhere in between
Oh, I hit the roof but I had
Aimed for the ceiling
[Verse 5]
Hardly education
All them books I didn't read
They just sat there on my shelf
Lookin' much smarter than me
Good ol' Nostradamus
He knew the whole damn time
There'd always be an east from west
And someone in them fightin'
[Chorus]
Stubborn shouted, and said
"I don't do what you do," I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well
[Outro]
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and sure don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know
Couldn't really hear. Highly if you
Highly care, and sure don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Oh, very well, then
