The Box - School lyrics

My parents used to say that school was not a joke

And as time was passing by, my grades kept looking like one

I remember every morning, sitting on my bench

Looking out the window, printing faces on my desk

(CHORUS)

Five days a week, and forty-five weeks a year

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no

And why in heaven did it have to be so long?

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no, we didn’t like school

We didn’t like school

Oh no

We didn’t like school

We didn’t like school

Oh no

(CHORUS)

Five days a week, and forty-five weeks a year

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no, OH NO

And why in heaven did it have to be so long?

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no, we didn’t like school

And now that it’s all over, I think about those days

‘Cause everything we had we kept enclosed between those walls

On the very last day, my friends certainly recall

We had a funny feeling we were leaving lots of things behind

(CHORUS)

Five days a week, and forty-five weeks a year

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no

And why in heaven did it have to be so long

We knew what we liked, and we didn’t like school

Oh no, oh no, we didn’t like school

We didn’t like school

Oh no

We didn’t like school

We didn’t like school

Oh no

We didn’t like school<br />
