This earth school
we think ends at high school graduation
but it don’t
This earth school
college puts the icing on the cake
but it ain’t
This earth school
settled at the office we reward the good
but they aren’t
This earth school
we feel done raising the kids
but we’re not
This earth school
got the gold watch and certificate to boot
but still want
This earth school
we know effort on the death bed
but confessions can’t
This earth school
we hope to get it right the next time through
but we forget
This earth school
is for now
but he don’t
and she ain’t
though it aren’t
see it not
have them want
watch us can’t
will they forget
This Earth School
