In School In a pool of cliches I meant to define myself I meant to stand out without trying I meant to excel But without that skill You simply rebel Or repel Laws of attraction Simple, really They preach us to learn But really they meant "Know how to burn" Classy, lightly, a flicker Don't fade out Last till you're blue When you're blue Wait till the burn-out Don't wet your naive fingers Even if it takes a million years That or take an occupation A job (More like Job) Endure your suffering Put air into a dead corpse Celebrate Columbus day Know your atoms Twenty-six times none is Eight And it flows and flows But they don't show you The importance of rivers They don't show you The importance of clouds They don't show you The importance of being shrouded In an aura all your own They just show you how to blend Mix of wool an apartheid Don't blend, just weave Breathe in, breathe out That's all you're made to do Breathe in, breathe out And be happy to die Just be happy to die
