Adult Education (Live)
Sing a song about the rigors of high school now
Adult, adult
Adult, adult education
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
Ah, ooh
Afternoon in the homeroom
They're about to let you go
And the locker slam
On the plan you had tonight
You've been messing around with a boyfriend maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know could put you right
In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
Believe it or not, there's life after high school
And that's why the student body got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
And what they want is adult education
Back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
But what you want is an adult education
Oh, yeah
The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body (oh, oh)
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool (oh, oh)
All your girlfriends care about what you wear and talking about it (oh, oh)
Believe it or not, there's life after high school, oh
The student body got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What you want is adult education
Back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
But what you want isn't adult education
Oh, yeah
Bring it down now
I'll bring it down now
Educa-educa-educa-educa-educa-, education
Hey (oh, oh)
They're calling it a separation (oh, oh)
You're waiting for a separation (oh, oh)
You're nothing but another odd number (oh, oh)
A memory that you won't remember (oh, oh)
And you got a little education (oh, oh)
And a lot of dedication (oh, oh)
But you want a little night school (oh, oh)
Or maybe some of it'll rub off on you (oh, oh)
The boys are busy in the mirrors (oh, oh)
Trying to imitate their hero (oh, oh)
You make it with a false surrender (oh, oh)
Memories that you won't remember (oh, oh)
The senior with the junior miss (oh, oh)
Wonder what the junior wishes (oh, oh)
A graduate to adult (oh, oh)
A graduate to adult 'cation
Wow, adult education
Adult education now
Adult education
Adult education
It's a bad situation, adult education
Adult, adult
Adult, adult education
Adult education, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The high point of low school is getting out of there
The low point of high school for what you wear
Don't forget it, you got to figure, you got to think
Adult, adult, adult, adult, adult, adult
Hello, thank you very much, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Is now
Thank you, don't leave
Adult, adult
Adult, adult education
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
Ah, ooh
