Well I'm sorry to bother you
But I'm afraid I want your attention
You see I've come to realize something
That I think I should mention
Through no fault of my own
I'm in a sticky situation
I'm suffering the consequences
Of a bad education
Think I've read too many books
Seen too much T.V.
Paid too much attention
To a bad education
Just touch the flesh of the breeze
And feel the heat
Too bad for me
I'm not alone in this mess
This state is so established
There is no one left to blame
Except maybe the law of dissipation
Which applied to us
Equals a bad education
Through no fault of my own
I'm in a sticky situation
I'm suffering the consequences
Of a bad education
