Educated Fool (Live SkaFest ’97)

[Doug Robb]
This song's called Educated Fool

[Intro]
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
Ha
Cause I'm the educated fool!

[Verse 1]
So I open the door to a new day, bad thoughts should go away
But the morning is so grey
How am I supposed to understand a word they're gonna say?
My mind's just not awake
Today's the day I break away from the life of monotony
Ha, ha, yeah!

[Verse 2]
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 be, in the sun where life is carefree

[Chorus]
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
An educated fool

[Verse 3]
People always say to me, go to school so you can be
Listen hard and fill your mind's potential, or lack there of
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 "T"

[Chorus]
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
An educated fool
Ha!

[Bridge]
Bah, bah, bah
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, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Cause I can't live by the rules established by the schools
An educated fool
A or D is not me, no it ain't!
Cause A or D is not me

[Doug Robb]
Thank you
Are you guys having a good time?
I still see a bunch of you guys not dancing, it's okay, even if you don't like the music
Just dance, it feels good, trust me
It's all good

[???]
It's all good
