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 much

I 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 beauty

I don't know

Could it really hear highly if you highly care?

And you don't

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Uh.. I fell away

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
