[Intro]

Ahh, yeah

Ahhhhh, yeah

Ahhhh, ahhhhhhh

Try it together one time, so

Ahhhhhhhh

Oooh, baby

Yeah!

Well, I ain't about to go to school, oh!

Ooo, and I'm sick and tired of golden rules

Oh! They say I'm crazy, from the wrong side of the tracks

I never see them, but they're always on my back

Oh, yeah, baby, how do you say?

So let me tell you about this one time, how you gonna tell it?

Let me put it to music, yes

Well, I'm sick and tired of cleaning room

Oh! And it's the final bell for pushing broom

Oh - Damned if I do, and then I'm damned if I don't

Won't someone tell me what it is they all want?

It makes me blue!

Ooh, I live with fools!

Ooh, it makes me blue!

Ooh, I live with fools!

I just can't take it

Ah, my teachers all gave up on me

No matter what they say, I disagree

And when I need something to soothe my soul

I listen to "too much rock 'n' roll"

Don't want no class reunion

This circus just left town

Why behave in public if you're

Livin' on a playground?

It makes me blue!

Ooh, I live with fools!

Ooh, it makes me blue!

Ooh, I live with fools!


[Guitar solo]

Oh, yeah! Hey!

Woo

(Ooh, it makes me blue) Makes me blue

(Fools) Oh-oh (I live with fools) Live with fools

(Ooh, it makes me blue) Yeah, so blue

(Fools), Oh, oh (I live with fools) Hey

Ah, ha-ha

All right, that's right

Are you goin' my way?
