playin' hooky - tom waits lyrics

i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
i can’t walk cool when i got books underneath my arm
i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
and i’m afraid i will be failing to be hearing the alarm

i refuse to go to school, think i’ll play a little pool
and i will p-ss on the curriculum today
i apologize to educational supplies
statistics just keep getting in my way
how will they teach me how to learn i don’t want to be no attorney
or receive a credential just like raymond

i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
i can’t walk cool when i got books underneath my arm
playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
and i’m afraid i would be failing to be hearing the alarm

maximum security is some peculiarity
my educationality has brought me to a conclusion
inst-tutionality that tries to blow the malady
can never seem to go to the release
so can you blame me if i’m tempted
and the chug down is pre-empted

playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
i can’t walk cool when i got books underneath my arm
i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
and i’m afraid i would be failing to be hearing the alarm

counselors said i’m maladjusted and i never can be trusted
irreconcilable differences cause problems with the faculty
conflicting interests in the area
but i should intend to be considering vocationally
i must be dealt with very gently and i might say incidentally
playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
can’t walk cool when i got books underneath my arm
i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
and i’m afraid i would be failing to be hearing the alarm

about this [?] called detention, with the captives aforementioned
-ssuming the dilemma’s to rile the guard
here’s a memo to communicate or maybe you should demonstrate
instead of just divulging information in regard
beyond the shadow of a doubt, you can trample yourself out

playin’ hooky, playin’ hooky
i can’t walk cool when i got books underneath my arm
i’m playin’ hooky, i’m playin’ hooky
and i’m afraid i would be failing to be hearing the alarm
