Sex Pistols — Schools Are Prisons

[Verse 1] They took the best years of my life And made it so I couldn’t decide I don't turn this want To make beautiful word that goes on and on And on and on Those 13 years in prison Didn’t teach me how to love [Chorus] They say they have their reasons All coming from above You can forget the seasons inside your factory There's one thing they can't teach you is how to feel free And stand alone in a beautiful world We have to respond Schools are prisons Forget the seasons Schools are prisons Schools are one of the reasons for this waste of the spring And where to begin Outside or within [Verse 2] It took the best years of my life And made it so I couldn’t decide Statistic as in prisons Statistic as in life [Chorus] [Outro] Schools are prisons Forget the seasons Schools are prisons One of the reasons Schools are prisons Forget the seasons Schools are prisons One of the reasons for this waste of the spring
