《You Don’t Learn That In School》歌词

[00:02:43] I wasn't taught how to get a job

[00:02:43] but I can remember dissecting a frog

[00:02:43] I wasn't taught how to pay tax

[00:02:43] but I know loads about Shakespeare's classics

[00:02:43] I was never taught how to vote they devoted that time to defining isotopes

[00:02:43] I wasn't taught how to look after my health

[00:02:43] but mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

[00:02:43] Never spent a lesson on current events

[00:02:43] instead I studied The Old American West

[00:02:43] I was never taught what laws there are.

[00:02:43] I was never taught what laws there are.

[00:02:43] Let me repeat - I was not taught the laws for the country I live in,

[00:02:43] but I know how Henry the VIII killed his women.

[00:02:43] Divorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived glad that's in my head instead of financial advice

[00:02:43] I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of light

[00:02:43] but I was never taught my human rights

[00:02:43] Apparently there's 30, do you know them?

[00:02:43] I don't Why the hell can't we both recite them by rote?!

[00:02:43] I know igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks

[00:02:43] Yet I don't know squat about trading stocks

[00:02:43] Or how money works at all - where does it come from?

[00:02:43] Who controls it?

[00:02:43] How does the thing that motivates the world function?

[00:02:43] not taught how to budget and disburse my earnings I was too busy rehearsing cursive.

[00:02:43] Didn't learn how much it costs to raise a kid or what an affidavit is

[00:02:43] but I spent days on what the quadratic equation is

[00:02:43] negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac over 2a That's insane, that's absolutely insane.

[00:02:43] They made me learn that over basic first aid

[00:02:43] How to recognise the most deadly Mental disorders // or diseases with preventable causes //

[00:02:43] How to buy a house with a mortgage //

[00:02:43] if I could afford it 鈥榗ause abstract maths was deemed more important than advice that would literally save thousands of lives

[00:02:43] but it's cool, 鈥榗ause now I could tell you if the number of unnecessary deaths caused by that choice was prime.

[00:02:43] Never taught present day practical medicines,

[00:02:43] but I was told what the ancient hippocratic method is "I've got a headache, the pain is ceaseless what should I take?"

[00:02:43] umm... maybe try some leeches? "Could we discuss domestic abuse and get the facts or how to help my depressed friend with their mental state?"

[00:02:43] Ummm... no but learn mental maths because "you won't have a calculator with you every day!"

[00:02:43] They say it's not the kids, the parents are the problem

[00:02:43] Then if you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then!

[00:02:43] All this advice about using a condom but none for when you actually have a kid when you want one

[00:02:43] I'm only fluent in this language, for serious?

[00:02:43] The rest of the world speaks two, do you think I'm an idiot?

[00:02:43] They chose the solar over the political system

[00:02:43] So like a typical citizen now I don't know what I'm voting on which policies exist,

[00:02:43] or how to make them change mais oui, je parle un peu de Francais

[00:02:43] So at 18, I was expected to elect a representative For a system I had never ever ever ever been presented with

[00:02:43] But I won't take it

[00:02:43] I'll tell everyone my childhood was wasted

[00:02:43] I'll share it everywhere how I was "educated"

[00:02:43] And insist these pointless things #DontStayInSchool
