Educated Fool Lyrics - They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To - Hoobastank

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
