School - Supertramp

I can see you in the morning

When you go to school

Don’t forget your books

You know you’ve got to learn the golden rule

Teacher tells you stop your play

And get on with your work

And be like Johnnie-too good

Well, don’t you know he never shirks

He’s coming along

After school is over

You’re playing in the park

Don’t be out too late

Don’t let it get too dark

They tell you not to hang around

And learn what life’s about

And grow up just like them

Won’t let you work it out

And you’re full of doubt

Don’t do this and don’t do that

What are they trying to do?

Make a good boy of you

Do they know where it’s at?

Don’t criticise, they’re old and wise

Do as they tell you to

Don’t want the devil to come

And put out your eyes

Maybe I’m mistaken

Expecting you to fight

Or maybe I’m just crazy

Don’t know wrong from right

But while I’m still living

I’ve just got this to say

It’s always up to you if you want to be that

Want to see that, want to see that way

You’re coming along
