I got up late,five to nine

I missed the bus,I losing my mind

Another day I'm off to school

Another day to break the rules

Got caught smokin' in the halls

The principal is after my balls

Teachers here don't understand me

I just wanna be free - Say it



I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules



(Where's your homework?) - I ain't got it done

I'd like to change the way things are run

They met my mom at the PTA

And said "Your son skipped school today"

Got caught writing on the walls

All my teachers are after my balls

Detention halls are not for me

I just wanna be free - Say it



I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules



Three o'clock and I run for the door

I can't take these rules no more

The teacher grabs me by the hair

"Sit down boy,you ain't goin' nowhere"

I sold my books to buy a guitar

I don't need school to be a star

My only "A" became an "E"

I don't need no degree - Alright



I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules

I - Hate - I hate school rules - Hate school rules



I hate school rules
