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
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
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?
(música presente na coletânea Pirates of Destiny, tida como não sendo gravada pelos pistols)
