lyrics

Things will get better
Once we're through with school
Things will get easier bunny
That's what they told you
They gave you a hard time
Well it's no news
They gave you a hard time now bunny
All that you had to go through

Yes I know that school is cruel
When the food chain's led by wolves
And that you longed for adulthood
Put your faith in your ideals
Write the songs you want to hear
Of a life happening elsewhere

I would hide out of sight
While waiting for class
I'd imagine the future
Oh how I longed for that
What they taught us at school
Was submission and rules
Survival of the fittest
In the name of education some will lose

Yes I know that school is cruel
With tormentors free to rule
And still years to adulthood
So hold on to your ideals
Write the songs you want to hear
Dream your way out of here

Dream your way out of here
There's another world out there
Your life is happening elsewhere
It's happening elsewhere
