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

[Bridge]

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 3]

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
