sitting in a classroom looking into the sky   what am I doing here I dont know why   filling my head with history   when none of it makes any sense to me   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   burn burn burn em down   burn burn burn em down   burn burn burn em down   burn burn   what do you learn when youre at school   only to be everybodys fool   teaching us the way to sign   a wasted generation oh what a crime   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   burn burn burn em down   burn burn burn em down   burn burn burn em down   burn burn   and now from the classroom they've taken our hope   eleven years of learning and I cant cope   useless facts and figures in my mind   but they never taught me of what id find   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   kids dont care about books or rules   all they wanna do is burn the schools   burn burn burn em down   burn burn burn em down   gonna burn burn burn em down   gonna burn burn
