Dumb Education

from Cuts by Twentieth Century

/

lyrics

We were the educated.
Classically trained to be dumb and numbered.
As the wheat from the chaff if we ever reacted to anything that wasn’t old or irrelevant too,
We’d be dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb… just like you.

I learn what I don’t wanna learn, and I don’t need to learn, and I don’t learn enough
For me to function properly. Ritalin did nothing for me.
How about you diagnose me cos I’m not performing to your expectations
Of results and behaviour.
And yet there’s people in the world who’d give their left tit
Just to learn the alphabet.
And all of this while you’re focusing on kids in detention for not paying attention,
When YOU’RE SO DAMN-DUMB AND HUM-DRUM
You can keep your DUMB EDUCATION.
