Closed satin boxes Hiding pretty lies Fat lips are talking Praising blood ties I will, I will, I will remain silent Again and again But when these winds come around Ooh, when these winds come Around Satin ribbons come undone Masks no longer seem fun Fools are seen for who they are Change somehow don’t seem too far Education’s worth will pay Only what you give away My tongue, it no longer holds The burn, the burn, the burn, the burn Oh mister Educated fool Oh educated fool Where you gonna hide when You’re out of all your tools? Climbing social ladders Fighting for a status To make something of yourself Hurting other people Your promise is deceitful Guess we all think we are good Open satin boxes Holding pretty lies Fat lips are talking Praising blood ties I will, I will, I will remain silent Again and again When these winds, ooh When these winds come around Oh, oh, they found out our game The one in which we hide our Shame Do they see who we really are? I do hope change ain’t too far Education’s worth, education will Pay For only what you can, only what You will say My tongue, it no longer My tongue, it doesn’t hold The burn, the burn, the burn, the burn Oh, we are educated fools Oh educated fools Where we gonna hide when We’re out of all our tools? Climbing social ladders Fighting for a status To make something of ourselves Hurting other people Our promise is deceitful Guess we all think we are good (educated fool, educated fool, educated fool, educated)
