lyrics

I went out of my way
just to please you
I would've knocked out
all my front teeth
to appease you

but instead you left me behind
in the dust
there's nothing worse than not knowing
who you can trust

I spent every last dime
on a slick education
and I come to find out
it was cheap imitation

oh, the things you can learn
just from being ripped off
the skin on the sleight of your hand
felt so lovely and soft

but on graduation day
I will run far, far away
your lecture halls and your books
ain't no reason to stay

I went out of my way
to avoid you
I would've gouged out
my very own eyes
to avoid you

and now that I've jumped
through your hoops
I am going to bed
to dream all your poisonous thoughts
right out of my head

and now that I've jumped
through your hoops
I am going home
you can't treat a man like a dog
if you don't throw him a bone
