Daryl Hall and John Oates, Greatest Hits-Rock and Soul, Part I, Track 08

Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
And the lockers 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 but you right

And the locker boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
Because it's only lonely spots that he shares with you
And the long halls and the grey 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)
What you want is an adult education

The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body (uh, uh)
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
All your girlfriends care about what you wear and talking about it (uh, uh)
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)
What you want is an adult education
Oh yeah

They're calling it a preparation (uh, uh)
You're waiting for a separation
You're nothing but another odd number (uh, uh)
Memories that you won't remember
So you got a little bit of education (uh, uh)
And a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school (uh, uh)
Maybe some of it will rub off on you
The boys are busy in the mirrors (uh, uh)
Trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender (uh, uh)
More memories you won't remember
The senior with the junior miss (uh, uh)
I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult (uh, uh)
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, ...

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