Education
Modest Mouse Song Lyrics

Artist: Modest Mouse
Album: We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (2007)

Call it education
It was somewhere in between
You gave me some sound advice
But I wasn't listening.

After we had capsized
I could tell you how you thought
Well, I'm not sure
But laid to rest on the city on the wall.

Not quite conversation
It was somewhere in between
You said everything is taught
And I listened patiently.

All this dog and pony
Still monkeys the whole time
We could not help from flinging shit
In our modern suits and ties.

Our instincts, they were cringing
About how we lived our lives
It didn't seem we'd lived enough
To even get to die.

All these dense distractions
So beautifully complex
Well, I love life's surprises so much
I don't want to know what's ahead.

Stubborn shouting, said
'I don't do what you do'
I don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care?
And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I've been away.

Hardly education
It was somewhere in between
Oh, I hit the roof but I had
Aimed for the ceiling.

Hardly education
All them books I didn't read
They just sat there on my shelf
Looking much smarter than me.

Good old nostradamus
He knew the whole damn time
There'd always be an east from west
And someone in there fighting.

Stubborn shouting, said
'I don't do what you do'
I don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care?
And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I've been away
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know anyway
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
I don't know
Could it really hear highly if you highly care?
And you don't
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Uh.. I fell away
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then
Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty
Oh, very well, then

Oh, very well, then.
