Back in School Lyrics
I wanna get it, but I got bad brains
I'm what they like to call a special case
I am a coal mine in a classroom
I got detention 'cause I made the face
Nobody believed me that it's stuck that way
I am a stoner in the bathroom
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
I gave an apple to my playground crush
She told me that the apple wasn't bad enough
Aw, shucks!
So young to be so cruel
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
No, they don't teach the soul how to love
(No, you can't teach soul)
No, they don't teach the soul how to love
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in school, back in place
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
I wanna get it, but I got bad brains
I'm a what they call a special case
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
I got detention cause I made a face
Nobody believed me that it's stuck that way, oh yeah
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in school
Back in my cage
I'm what they like to call a special case
I am a coal mine in a classroom
Nobody believed me that it's stuck that way
I am a stoner in the bathroom
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
She told me that the apple wasn't bad enough
Aw, shucks!
So young to be so cruel
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
(No, you can't teach soul)
No, they don't teach the soul how to love
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in school, back in chains
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
I'm a what they call a special case
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
Nobody believed me that it's stuck that way, oh yeah
Back in school
Back in my cage
(You can't teach soul!)
Back in my cage

Song speaks about how schools have a bad way of teaching and affecting kids to actually do good and love. They have a way of teaching that is okay for some people but some have difficult learning the standard way and he is judged for not being the same as everybody else. He feel trapped and is labeled a special case for being different. He doesn't do well, he tries but he can't learn because the system is bullshit, gets in trouble for stupid things. Other kids are cruel to him all in all he feels like he is in a cage.
