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?
