Boyinaband - Don't Stay in School
作词作曲：Boyinaband
I wasn't taught how to get a job
but i can remember dissecting a frog
I wasn't taught how to pay tax
but I know loads about Shakespeare's classics
I was never taught how to vote
they devoted that time to defining isotopes
I wasn't told how to look after my health
but mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Never spent a lesson on current events
instead I studied the Old American West
I was never told what laws there are
I was never told what laws there are
Let me repeat
I was not told what laws for the country I live in
but I know how Henry VIII killed his women
Divorced, beheaded, died
Divorced, beheaded, survived
Glad thats in my head instead of financial advice
I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of light
but I was never taught my human rights
Apparently there's 30, do know them? I don't
Why the hell can't we both recite them by rote
I know igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks
yet I don't know squat about trading stocks
or how money works at all, where does it come from?
How does the thing that motivates the world function?
Not taught to budget and disperse my earnings
I was too busy there rehearsing cursive
Didn't know how much it cost to raise a kid or what an affidavit is
But i spent days on what the quadratic equation is
Negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac over 2a
Thats insane, that's absolutely insane
They make me learn that over basic first aid
Or how to recognize the most deadly mental disorders
or diseases with preventable causes
or how to buy a house with a mortgage if I could afford it
'Cause abstract maths was deemed more important than advice that would literally save thousand of lives
But it's cool
'Cause then I can tell you if the number of unneccesary deaths caused by that choice was prime
Never taught present day practical medicine
but I was told what the ancient Hippocratic method is
I've got a headache, the pain is ceaseless
What should i take? Umm, maybe try some leeches?
Could we discuss domestic abuse and get the facts
Or how to help my depressed friend with a mental state?
Umm, no, but learn mental maths
Because you won't have a calculator with you everyday
They say its not the kids, the parents are the problem
Then if you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then
All these advice about using a condom
but none for when you actually have a kid and you want one
I'm only fluent in this language, for serious?
The rest of the world speaks two, do you think I'm an idiot
They chose the solar over the political system
so like a typical citzen now i don't know what I'm voting on
Which policies exist or how to make them change
Mais ouiz, je parle un peu de Francias
So at 18 I was expected to elect a representative
for a system I had never ever ever been presented with
But I won't take it
I'll tell everyone my childhood was wasted
I'll share it everywhere how I was"educated"
And insist these pointless things
Dont Stay in School
