W.A.S.P. LYRICS
"School Daze" (1985 Single)
1. School Daze
2. Paint it Black
1. School Daze
(Lawless)
My eyes are burning, bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing, class bells screaming, I can't hear
A text book mad-house, twelve years
I'm here in a rage
A juveniles jail
And I'm here locked up in their cage
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
A blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
A homework hell-house screams at me
Make the grade
Tick tock, three o'clock, I'm sittin here and counting off the days
A firebell is ringin' hell and I'd sure love to see it blaze
Burn it down
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
Nobody here is understanding me
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
I'm dying here and trying to get free
School Daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I'm here doin' time
School daze, school daze, I'm attending hell high
2. Paint it Black
(Jagger/Richards)
I see your red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Never see the sight of me that changes every day
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
No more will my dream's eagle turn a deeper blue (handcuffed, handcuffed)
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black as night, black as tar
Wanna see the sun blotted outside
Paint it black
