O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-oh, O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-o-whoa

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



O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-oh, O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-o-whoa

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, 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 kinda cool'



O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-oh, O-o-oh, whoa-o-o-o-o-whoa



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 kinda cool'
