broken_vampire Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Does anyone know any songs about hating/disliking school and all those things. Gonna give an example: Alice cooper - schools out Well we got no choice All the girls and boys Makin all that noise 'Cause they found new toys Well we can't salute ya Can't find a flag If that don't suit ya That's a drag School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces No more pencils No more books No more teacher's dirty looks Well we got no class And we got no principles (principals) And we got no innocence We can't even think of a word that rhymes School's out for summer School's out forever My school's been blown to pieces No more pencils No more books No more teacher's dirty looks Out for summer Out 'til fall We might not come back at all School's out forever School's out for summer School's out with fever School's out completely Also songs about "breaking the rules" ya know rebelious songs...are welcome. Oh oh oh and songs about freedom... (hehehe I know I ask much) I hope there isn't a topic about this all already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Don Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 School Day (Chuck Berry) Up in the mornin' and out to school The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule American history and practical math You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass Workin' your fingers right down to the bone And the guy behind you won't leave you alone Ring, ring goes the bell The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell You're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you have time to eat Back in the classroom, open your books Keep up the teacher don't know how mean she looks Soon as three o'clock rolls around You finally lay your burden down Close up your books, get out of your seat Down the halls and into the street Up to the corner and 'round the bend Right to the juke joint, you go in Drop the coin right into the slot You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot With the one you love, you're makin' romance All day long you been wantin' to dance, Feeling the music from head to toe Round and round and round we go Hail, hail rock and roll Deliver me from the days of old Long live rock and roll The beat of the drums, loud and bold Rock, rock, rock and roll The feelin' is there, body and soul.

SoulGirl Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 two songs that spring to mind which mention school but aren't necessarily about it: mad world - tears for fears (i love the gary jules version) went to school and i was very nervous no-one knew me, no-one knew me hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson look right through me, look right through me getting better - the beatles I used to get mad at my school The teachers who taught me weren?t cool Holding me down, turning me round Filling me up with your rules.

Mike Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 ...a couple of my favorites .... Supertramp - School I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don?t forget your books, you know you?ve got to learn the golden rule, Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work And be like johnnie - too-good, well don?t you know he never shirks - he?s coming along! After school is over you?re playing in the park Don?t be out too late, don?t let it get too dark They tell you not to hang around and learn what life?s about And grow up just like them - won?t you let it work it out - and you?re full of doubt Don?t do this and don?t do that What are they trying to do? - make a good boy of you Do they know where it?s at? Don?t criticise, they?re old and wise Do as they tell you to Don?t want the devil to Come out and put your eyes Maybe I?m mistaken expecting you to fight Or maybe I?m just crazy, I don?t know wrong from right But while I am still living, I?ve just got this to say It?s always up to you if you want to be that Want to see that Want to see that way - you?re coming along! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Men At Work - Be Good Johnny Skip de skip, up the road Off to school we go "Don't you be a bad boy Johnny. Don't you slip up, or play the fool." "Oh no Ma, Oh no Da, I'll be your golden boy, I will obey ev'ry golden rule." Get told by the teacher Not to day-dream Told by my mother: Be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, be good, (Johnny) Be good, be good, Be good, be good be good Be good be good be good Be good be good be good Be good (Johnny) Be good be good. "Are you going to play football this year, John?" "No!" "Oh, well you must be going to play cricket this year then, are you Johnny?" "No! no! no!" "Boy, you sure are a funny kid, Johnny, but I like you! So tell me, what kind of a boy are you, John?" I only like dreaming All the day long Where no one is screaming Be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, be good, (Johnny) Be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, Be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, Johnny!

katie_sane Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 What about 'Another Brick In The Wall' by Pink Floyd? We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teacher, leave those kids alone. Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall. AND 'Rock n' Roll High School' by The Ramones: Well I don?t care about history. (Rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school) ?cause that?s not where I wanna be (Rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school) I just wanna have some kicks. I just wanna get some chicks. Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school Well the girls out there knock me out, you know. (Rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school) Cruisin? around in my GTO (Rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school) I hate the teachers and the principal. Don?t wanna be taught to be no fool. Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock?n?roll high school Fun fun rock?n?roll highschool. Fun fun, oh baby. :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 From the Beatles (Getting Better): I used to get mad at my school The teachers who taught me weren't cool You're holding me down, turning me round Filling me up with your rules I've got to admit it's getting better A little better all the time I have to admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine And "the skies are not cloudy all day" for the Beach Boys (Be True To Your School): When some loud braggart tries to put me down And says his school is great I tell him right away Now what?s the matter buddy Ain?t you heard of my school It?s number one in the state I got a letterman?s sweater With a letter in front I got for football and track I?m proud to wear it now When I cruise around The other parts of the town I got a decal in back On Friday we?ll be jacked up on the football game And I?ll be ready to fight We?re gonna smash ?em now My girl will be working on her pom-poms now And she?ll be yelling tonight So be true to your school now Just like you would to your girl or guy Be true to your school now And let your colors fly Be true to your school Rah rah rah be true to your school Rah rah rah be true to your school Rah rah rah be true to your school Rah rah rah be true to your school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 no one mentioned this one yet? 'school' by nirvana. Won't you believe it/ just my luck/ no recess/ you're in high school again. and thats the whol song. 'Don't stand so close to me' by the police involves school too though not in a hating disliking way. just a school girl having a crush on her teacher and what the teacher has to go through and rhcp in one of their bored moods had 'catholic school girls rule' but once again its not so much about school as about the girl with eyes like marilyn monroe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoleumrent Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 School by nirvana rocks...... - yeah great one, no recess - i.e. detention! cant think of any that havent already been mentioned. nice one to whoever mentioned 'Girls School' by Wings......good number.....
