Lyrics

[Intro] (Ha-ha...) [Verse 1] Call it education It was somewhere in between You gave me some sound advice But I wasn't listening After we had capsized I could tell you how you'd fall Well, I'm not sure if I lay to rest On the ceiling or the wall [Verse 2] Not quite conversation It was somewhere in between You said everything is taught And I listened patiently All this dog and pony We're still monkeys the whole time We could not help from flingin' shit In our modern suits and ties [Verse 3] Our instincts, they were cringin' About how we lived our lives It didn't seem we'd lived enough To even get to die All these dense distractions So beautifully complex Well, I love life's surprises so much I don't want to know what's ahead, —ead [Chorus] Stubborn shouted, and said "I don't do what you do," I don't know Couldn't really hear. Highly if you Highly care, and you don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, very well [Verse 4] Hardly education It was somewhere in between Oh, I hit the roof but I had Aimed for the ceiling [Verse 5] Hardly education All them books I didn't read They just sat there on my shelf Lookin' much smarter than me Good ol' Nostradamus He knew the whole damn time There'd always be an east from west And someone in them fightin' [Chorus] Stubborn shouted, and said "I don't do what you do," I don't know Couldn't really hear. Highly if you Highly care, and you don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, very well [Outro] Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I don't know anyway Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty I don't know Couldn't really hear. Highly if you Highly care, and sure don't Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, oh, very well, then Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, very well, then Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, very well, then Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty Oh, very well, then Oh, very well, then
