Sitting in a classroom looking into the sky What am I doing here I don't know why Filling my head with history When none of it makes any sense to me Kids don't care about books or rules All they wanna do is burn the schools Kids don't 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 you're at school Only to be everybodys fool Teaching us the way to sign A wasted generation oh what a crime Kids don't care about books or rules All they wanna do is burn the schools Kids don't 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 can't cope Useless facts and figures in my mind But they never taught me of what I'd find Kids don't care about books or rules All they wanna do is burn the schools Kids don't 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
