The American Education System Lyrics by Cheap Haircuts

You Are the Dream Star

2016

The american education system says that I'm a grown up
So I guess that means I'll quit smoking
And learn to keep my big mouth shut
Sure ain't for you
Sure ain't for me
It's for the way that I pretend I want to be perceived
I've been thinking that I'm worthless; I know I'm not worthless
But it's a constant struggle between binge drinking or churches
If the offering plate comes my way I want to feel so ecstatic
Like I did in second grade
So three cheers for whatever it is that gets you by
Because it's okay to feel okay all the time
I look forward to the day that I can buy mom a car
She knows I'd always visit if she wasn't so far
She says, "Mitchell write some Christian songs!
Songs that I could sing to my classroom of 5th graders
And teach them holy things."
I wanna wake up every morning and know that who I am
Is exactly who I wanna be
I might crash, I'll still land on my feet
I've learned that we're all honeybees:
JUST CUZ WE DON'T GET RECOGNITION
WELL THAT, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
WE'RE NOT IMPORTANT
So do whatever you have to
To get by
Cuz it's okay to feel okay all the time
I know that sometimes it gets rough
You'll lose sight of yourself;
You don't think that you're enough
To your closets friends or family
Just know that to someone you are everything
