What I Learned Lyrics

Do you want to know what I learned at school today?
Don't open your mouth
Don't open your mind
Don't open your heart to any girl who wants to come inside
Look out for yourself
Just don't be yourself
Won't you try to look and act like everyone else?
No I didn't like school today
Do you wanna know what I learned at work today?
How to be a racist
How to be a sexist
How to be unfair towards your fellow man and accept this
How to know right from wrong
and use your conscience
and still manage to get confused in the process
No I didn't like work today
I don't believe in anything, no, I don't believe in anything,
no, I don't believe in anything, no, I don't believe in anything at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
