stop the song

welcome back to your education
here's the answer key and all of your grades
and not only that
but if you get stuck
don't worry just raise your hand
at some point someone will call on you
cause you take the test
and then you learn the rules
here at the backwards school

and as long as we don't understand
we remain entertained
the more we discover
the more we remember
the less there is to explain away
another passing phase
and i'm taking everything
because it's all here at the
backwards school

there's a gold star on your report card
here's a good swift kick in the past
if that's what it takes
to finally knock that chip off
the old mental block
you know they say
you can't always win
but even they say
you can't listen to them
cause this is backwards school

it took you a long time
all the way around just to find
it was right in front of you all the time
maybe that's why you just couldn't help it
no one here knows why
it's such a big world secret

you remember like it was tomorrow
in a dreamy deja vu sort of view
you just pretend the means and the end
won't come up again but when they do
just scream and sigh
another time or two
cause you take the test
and then you learn the rules
here at the backwards school
