Mis-Education
Kill the Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's my fault I'm sorry sir, I should have waited
Now I am anal and bored of creation
This is the start of my mis-education
I'll settle the scores when I'm old and I'm ready
Look back at books that I've read and regretted
We're all falling, falling, falling………
You might as well have just said
That 'you might as well have been dead'
I'll see you when we're all dead
I should collect all the trophies I've not won
And repent myself for the wrongs I've created
For now I'm disabled from lack of distraction
This is the start of my mis-eduction
I'll settle for nothing or buy back the minutes
That I lost from drinking
Replenished, diminished
We're all falling, falling, falling………You might as well have just said
Written on your death bed
That 'you might as well have been dead'
I'll see you when we're all dead
It's the only thing we've got
It's the only thing we need
We're all bought to believe that
To believe that
To believe that
You might as well have just said
Written on your death bed
That 'you might as well have been dead'
I'll see you when we're all dead
