Lyrics The Great American Success Story - Alice Cooper

The Great American Success Story

He was born in a depressed nation
Started tough and worked his way right off the street
Thumbed his nose at a graduation
Wheeled and deald, his education was complete
He got all his hair, but his life is a wreck
Always been a brat, he don’t get no respect
He’s got the time, he’s got the money
You better get out of his way
You better watch out for him, sonny
Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind gonna shed old skin there
Spent some time in appreciation of finer arts
And the human body mysteries
Scoring high in procreation
Got an 'a' in the study of female anatomy
He thinks about his teacher in his literary class
He’s staring at her legs but he’s dreaming 'bout her face
He’s got the time, he’s got the money
You better get out of his way
You better watch out for him, sonny
Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind gonna shed old skin there
Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind gonna shed old skin there
He’s got all his hair, but his life is a wreck
Always been a brat, he don’t get no respect
He’s got the time, he’s got the money
You better get out of his way
You better watch out for him, sonny
Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind gonna shed old skin there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind gonna shed old skin there
Back to school
Back to school
Back to school
Back to school
