Adult Education

Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
And the locker slam on the plan you had tonight
You've been messing around with a boyfriend, maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know could put you right

In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
Believe it or not, there's life after high school

And that's why the student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What they need is adult education
You're back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
But what you want is an adult education
Oh yeah

The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
All your girlfriends care about what you wear and talking about it
Believe it or not, there's life after high school

That's why the student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What they need is adult education
You go back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
But what you want is an adult education
Oh yeah

They're calling it a preparation, you're waiting for a separation
You're nothing but another odd number
Memories that you won't remember
So you got a little education and a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school
Maybe some of it'll rub off on you

The boys are busy in the mirrors trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender
More memories you won't remember
The senior with the junior miss, I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult
That she could graduate to adult kisses

Adult education
Adult education
Adult education (it's a bad situation)
Adult education

Adult, adult
Adult, adult education
Adult education (oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Adult, adult
Adult, adult
Adult, adult
Adult, adult

The high point of low school is getting out of there
The low point of high school is what you wear, oh
