| Were the teachers any good at it?
|
| Were they good at their jobs?
|
| It must be hard, can they handle it
|
| When we become what they said we’d not?
|
| (Oh)
|
| (Oh)
|
| Now, we work and we pay for it
|
| Doing any old chore
|
| It makes money so we stick it through
|
| And day to day, the days go by and by and by and by and well
|
| I just don’t want to die like a fool
|
| I’m not lost, I’m somewhat off the way
|
| I’m gonna do what I said I’d do at school
|
| And be the one that says
|
| «Hey, this ain’t so hard and it’s kind of cool»
|
| (Oh)
|
| (Oh)
|
| When we look at the clock we know
|
| How much longer we have
|
| It’s not the hours and the minutes that go
|
| It’s everything that we said, and it’s gone, are you glad?
|
| Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills
|
| With the money we’ve got
|
| And the world seems to frown on us
|
| And we’re learning more than we’ve ever learnt
|
| And I like it a lot
|
| I just don’t want to die like a fool
|
| I’m not lost, I’m somewhat off the way
|
| I’m gonna do what I said I’d do at school
|
| And be the one that says
|
| «Hey, this ain’t so hard and it’s kind of cool»
|
| (Oh)
|
| (Oh) |
