You payed
For everything you did
You learned
To live without your dreams
In weeks, in years, they wanna make you blind
Now it's time to kill
They have to feel their end
Education no more...

Too much losers all around
Too much losers broken you down
Kick their ass for the youth
They will never speak the truth

Coming from the other side
Put me in a world of lies
Get me out of this place
I don't need the teacher's race

Education - for what
Education - for war
Education - for lies
Education - for their hate
Education - for what
Education - for war
Education - for lies
Education - to shape your fate

Time to think before you bleed
Not what you see is what you need
They force their lies on your mind
Let them know you're not their kind

Just living for the job you hate
Sick and tired it's not too late
Now I'm on the other side
Recognize your only right

Right is right - and wrong is wrong
The time is falling - you are calling
A new beginning - time is running
A second opinion - yours is coming

Preach - it get out of hand
Betrayed - you must take a stand
Bleed - don't lose your soul
Survive - reach your fucking goal

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
