I see that, once again, the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me
G Gaug G Cm G D
The trouble with schools is they always try to teach the wrong lesson
Em C Am7 D
Believe me, I've been kicked out of enough of them to know

They want you to become less callow, less shallow
Em G7 C Cm
But I say, why invite stress in?
G Ddim7
Stop studying strife
Am11 E
And learn to live the unexamined life
