lyrics

My teachers always told me ‘You’ve got to have a backup plan’
Don’t worry honey I know the future like the back of my hand
You aint even heard me, no you aint seen nothing yet
I aint gonna get the job done sitting behind that desk

The only thing school taught me was what not to do
I could’ve conformed to your uniform
but I’ve got better things to do

I may not have made my mind up and I probably never will
At least I’m doing what the hell I want and yeah I’m happy still
Life’s this situation that’s always on the move
Sometimes I can’t keep up and feel like I’m going to lose

Dropping out of school was the best thing that I done
I never started learning til I started having fun
Dropping out of school was the best thing I could do
I never started learning til I started breaking rules

I don’t need your rules to tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
I just think and I’ve thunk and I think I turned out all right
