Modest Mouse Education Lyrics

Call it education
It was somewhere inbetween
You gave me some sound advice
But I wasn't listening

After we had capsized
I could tell you how you'd fall
Well I'm not sure if I've laid to rest
On the ceiling or the wall

Not quite conversation
It was somewhere in between
You said everything you thought
And I listened patiently
All this dog and pony
Still monkeys the whole time
We could not help from flingin' s___
In our modern suits and ties

Our instincts they were cringing
About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem we lived enough to even get to die
All these d___ distractions, so beatifully complex
Well I love life's suprises so much
I don't want to know what's ahead

Stumbled and shouted and said "I don't do what you do"
I don't know could it really hit highly if you hardly care
And you don't stumble doin' it, stumble doin' it out everywhere

Hardly education, it was somewhere inbetween
Oh I hit the roof, but I had aimed for the ceiling

Hardly education, all them books I didn't read
They just sat there on my shelf, looking much smarter than me
Good ole' Nostradomus, he knew the whole d___ time
There'll always be an east from west and someone in them fighting

Stumble and shouted and said "I don't do what you do"
I don't know could it really hit highly if you hardly care?
And you don't stumble doin' it, stumble doin' it out everywhere

Stumble doin' it, stumble doin' it, I don't know anyway
Stumble doin' it, stumble doin' it, I don't know
Could it really hit highly if you hardly care
And you don't, stumble doin it stubborn beauty, oh very well then

Stubborn beauty
Stubborn beauty, oh very well then
Stubborn beauty
Stubborn beauty, oh very well then
Stubborn beauty
Stubborn beauty, oh very well then

Oh very well then
