Bad Education

(album: Covers & Rare - 1994)

Well, I'm sorry to bother you
But I'm afraid I want your attention
You see I've come to realize something
That I think I should mention

Through no fault of my own
I'm in a sticky situation
I'm suffering the consequences
Of a bad education

Think I've read too many books
Seen too much TV
Paid too much attention
To a bad education

Just touch the flesh of the breeze
And feel the heat

Too bad for me
I'm not alone in this mess
This state is so established
There is no one left to blame
Except maybe the law of dissipation
Which applied to us
Equals a bad education

Through no fault of my own
I'm in a sticky situation
I'm suffering the consequences
Of a bad education
