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
You can'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?
