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 Johnny Toogood
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 tryin' 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 pull out your eyes.



Maybe I'm mistaken
expecting you to fight
or maybe I'm just crazy
I 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 wanna be that,
wanna see that
wanna see it that way.
You're coming along.
