Adult Education

from Television & Trash by Brett Schieber

about

This song is originally by Daryl Hall & John Oates. I love them and this has always been one of my favorite songs. It's impossible to do them justice, but I thought I could make the song slightly more aggressive sounding, so I did the best I could. Gavin played awesomely on it and I'm quite proud of how it turned out. It's one of my favorite songs to play live with a full band.

lyrics

Afternoon in the homeroom they're about to let you go, and the locker slams on the plans you had tonight. You've been messing around with your boyfriend maybe better left alone. There's a wise guy that you know could put your right. And the laughter boy that's out of your mind does he rev your heart? Because it's only lonely spots he shares with you. And the long halls and the gray walls are going to break apart. Believe it or not, there's live after high school.

(chorus)
And that's why the student body's got a bad reputation. What we need is adult education. Go back to school is a bad situation. What you want it an adult education

The teachers don't know about how to deal with the student body and the younger classmen are flashing hot and cool. But your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and are talking about it. Believe it or not, there's life after high school.

(chorus)

They're calling it a preparation, you're waiting for a separation, you're nothing but another odd number, a memory that you won't remember, so you got a little education, and a lot of bad situations, so you want a little night school, maybe some of it will rub off on you, the boys are busy in the mirrors, trying to imitate their heroes, you make it with a false surrender, for memories that you won't remember, the senior with the junior miss, I wonder what the junior wishes, that she can graduate to adult, that she can graduate to adult kissing
