Verse:   Open up those books and turn to lesson one   The beginning of the end has just begun   Grab a pencil and some paper so you can take some notes   I think there’s gonna be a quiz on everything he wrote      Know your signs and know when the right of way is yours   Never turn unless your positively sure   These are some of the simple things they believe that you should know   Teaching is just the start, it’s up to you to grow      Chorus:   Well they taught us everything they thought we needed   But I’ve got everything that I need to know   They taught us the signs and how to get there   But I dunno which way to go      Flip on the signal and take a right   Then make a left at the next stop light   As soon as this town goes out of sight   That’s how you know you’re lost tonight      Verse:   Open up those books and turn to lesson two   It’s the same old problems, nothing is new   We’re gonna watch a movie about some serious crashes   But knowing you you’ll just smile and just bat your lashes      Red means stop and yellow means slow down   Watch out for ambulances and listen for their sound   All these classes fill my head with things that mean the most   I feel like I am roughly fading, but you just seem to coast      Chorus      Verse:   After you have graduated I’ll remain right here   Continuing everything that I have come to fear   It all seems just so mesmerizing   But you just seem to be criticizing   I’ve tried to make everything crystal clear      Chorus      Chorus
