Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've gotta learn the golden rule
Teacher tells you, stop your playing, get on with your work
And be like Johnny-Too-Good, don't you know he never shirks?
He's comin' along
[Verse 2]
After school's over, you're playing in the park
But 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
[Verse 3]
Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do? (Make a good boy of you)
And do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do what they tell you to, don't want the devil to come and put out your eyes
[Verse 4]
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
