Favorite anti-school song(s)

The punk thread, making me think of Mission of Burma, gave me the idea for this thread. Lots of good "school sucks/schoolmasters are abusive/school is a soul-crushing institutional experience/etc" songs, but these are my favorites.

Playground isn't primarily about school, but it ties in...

 

Watch the leaves all tear away (one by one)

Leaving you but lined like an exercise book

What did your report card say (know the one)

This boy must try harder to please

From down on his knees ...

 

Brain gets bent, heart gets broken

You can't jump off once the page is turned

School is out but never over

That's the only lesson you can learn

School's Out never gets old. Ever.

 

My senior year (1966) we sang that a lot!

 

That's weird since Alice Cooper didn't release the song until 1972.

 

Did you guys have time machines back then lol.

 

Maybe I'm transposing it to grad school. Still wanted out!
