[Intro] [clean electric guitar rhythmic strumming] [bass and drums enter] [Verse 1] [male vocals] Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh [Chorus] The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age We've learned about God and the ABCs but in conflict with love, absolutely nothing We've learned about math and ancient history but what have we learned about the Bombay Sea? The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age [Bridge] Old things we planned don't mean a thing anymore Old things we stand for don't mean a thing anymore Throw away your textbooks, don't mean a thing anymore Throw away your class notes, don't mean a thing anymore [Instrumental Break] [electric guitar lead melody with light overdrive] [bass and drums continue steady rhythm] [Verse 2] Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh [Chorus] The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age We've learned about God and religion too but what have we learned about me and you? We've learned our sums and trigonometry but what have we learned about hypocrisy? The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age The lessons we've learned along the way don't mean anything in this day and age [Outro] Old things we planned don't mean a thing anymore Old things we stand for don't mean a thing anymore Throw away your textbooks, don't mean a thing anymore Throw away your class notes, don't mean a thing anymore [guitar melody fades out] [drums and bass end on a final hit]
