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)
