You took the best years of my life

And made it so I couldn't decide

Unable to respond

To the beautiful world

That goes on and on

And on and on



And those 13 years in prison

Didn't teach me how to love

They say they had their reasons

All coming from above

Don't forget the seasons

Inside your factory

There's one thing they can't teach you

That's how to feel free

And stand alone

In a beautiful world

We have to respond



[CHORUS]

Schools are prisons

Forgot the seasons

Schools are prisons

What are the reasons for this waste of the spring?

Oh where to begin?

Outside, or within



You took the best years of my life

And made it so I couldn't decide

And 13 years in prison

Didn't teach me how to love

They say they had their reasons

All coming from above

You don't forget the seasons

Inside your factory

One thing they can't teach you

That's how to feel free

And stand alone

In a beautiful world

We have to respond



[CHORUS]



Schools are prisons

Forgot the seasons

Schools are prisons

What are the reasons?

Schools are prisons

Forgot the seasons

Schools are prisons

What are the reasons for this waste of the spring?
