Wake up tired, Monday mornings suck,
It's way too early to catch a bus,
Why conform without a fuss,
Daddy Daddy, no, I don't want to go to school, woo!

I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare,
Meet Juliet or Malvolio,
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now,
I want to break out, let's go!

Teachers treat us all like clones,
Sit up straight, take off your headphones,
I don't blame them, they get paid,
Money money, woo, lot's of money money, woo!

I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare,
Meet Juliet or Malvolio,
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now,
I want to break out, let's go!

Get out, get out, get out, get out, woo!
Get out, get out, get out, get out!
To skip or not to skip? that is the question.
Get out, get out, get out, get out, woo!
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out,
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out!

I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare,
Meet Juliet or Malvolio,
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now,
I want to break out, let's go!

I don't need to read Billy Shakespeare,
Meet Juliet or Malvolio,
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now,
I want to break out, let's go!

Get out, get out, get out, get out, woo!
Get out, get out, get out, get out, woo!
Feel for once what it's like to rebel now,
I want to break out, let's go!

Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out!

    Guys, I hate to break up your love-fest, but I agree with broadway_gonnabe.

    LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT FIRST

    I agree that it is a sad world that we live in where we have people who moan and complain about school when there are kids in Africa who don't get an option about their education.

    But that's exactly the point of this song! It's to show that people DO moan about GETTING THE VALUABLE education. People DO moan and complain about having to getup early in the morning and go to school, especially when they are teenagers who (I hate to say) have a tendancy to take life for granted.

    But, Soapmaker_22, does that mean that everyone who complains about education or who moans about stingy teachers and boring classes is a "spoilt prick" and "an immature Barbie"? Abduction123, does this make eery whiner a "lazy princess"? Because, if it does, I'm certainly all of the above.

    I'll have you all know that I am currenlty fourteen about to turn fifteen, yet I have always been rated above my peers by school curriculum standards. I don't usually voice my opinions so strongly or in such a manner that appears as pig-headed as this surely does, yet I can't stand it when people don't see both sides of the story.

    YES, there are poor starving children in the world who don't have the luxury of an education.

    YES, there are people in this world who don't see the world through the same eyes as everyone else.

    And YES, there are people who moan about school and having to go to it. I'm not a morning person, and the amount of times I have felt the same way as the first two lines ("Wake up tired, Monday mornings suck/It's way too early to catch a bus")

    By the way, Soapstar_22, I know a couple of people who DO scrub dinner trays for a living, and they always tell me that they love their job because they get to listen in to the conversations of the pupils and sometimes be involved with them over the counter. Unlike teachers, who usually kill any conversation by force or presence, dinnerladies and 'tray scrubbers' are always around when you talk casually to your friends in the lunch queue.

    If anyone has any growing up to do, it's all you people who suddenly jump in with your own side and refuse to see anybody else's point of view. You're telling people to realise how lucky we are to have school, and to stop moaning about it. Have you ever moaned about going to the dentist? Or having your bloods taken? What about people who fear needles and don't like doctors or dentists? I know I'm the part of the last group, and I constantly moan about them both! Yet I still know how lucky I am to have free dental and medical care.

    If you want to moan about the unfairness of one world against another, complain about the fact that we can afford to pay David Beckham a quarter of a billion dollars to kick a football around a field when we can't afford to send money to those who need it.

    Maybe you all need to return to school and think about why YOU deserve to be on this earth.

    Who knows? Maybe you don't.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
