School
Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson

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 you let it 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 out and put 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 am 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!
