lyrics

There's something I'm beginning to understand:
This is an education;
That maybe we are students all our days,
And death is our graduation.

Cos I'm in a menagerie with all sorts of strange creatures
Trying to learn how I should behave and what to imitate

Everybody wants to have a good time
Everybody wants to feel a high
I wish it was as simple as
Following my impulses
But that don't always turn out right

Give me an education
Give me an education

I've accepted life is a practical degree
And nothing is simulated
Trial and error stamped all over me oh
This process is fascinating

I'd hoped I'd have evolved by now but I am still a strange creature
Where head and heart must coexist there will be fisticuffs

I don't want to do anything stupid
But I don't want to miss out on the fun
Sometimes I can lose my mind
And then I have to improvise
Far too easy to get wrong

Give me an education
Give me an education

Oh discipline
I don't like your sting
But I want the wisdom that you bring
Oh discipline
I don't like it but I need you

Yeah sometimes I don't like the way I'm learning
Sometimes it hardly seems fair
But the puzzles on my page
Are in ink, I can't erase them
So I just gotta do my best

Give me an education
Give me an education

Oh discipline
I don't like your sting
But I want the wisdom that you bring
Oh discipline
I don't like it but I need you.

Oh discipline
I don't like your sting
But I want the wisdom that you bring
Oh discipline
I don't like it but I need you.
I need... I need...

There's something I'm beginning to understand:
This is an education.
