Listen to
Waves crash down
Breeze blows through
Carries a song towards town
Pre
As workers arise with the sun
And parents care for little ones
Buses carry the big kids away
To the room where they're told what to do
Chorus
Stand up, sit down
Stand up, sit down
Remember these answers, don't question this truth
Education, not learning
Education, not learning
Stay within the lines, don't go outside
Stand up, sit down
Stand up, sit down

As one who can get wordy, I enjoyed your spare but clear lyrics...nicely delivered, too. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice fingerstyle and singing going on here. I hear what you're saying regarding our formal education system. Some places are better than what you describe but some are even worse. While there are some great teachers, in general, the higher-level administrators they don't get it. I have spent most of my career in non-traditional educational organizations but was a teacher for 6 years in a very traditional setting, so I can relate. I like the way the song ends as it brings the listener back to what really matters.

Good balance of guitar and vocals, nice mix as well. Just the right amount of reverb. Good singing voice as well. Great song!
