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      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 and 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 kind of cool'      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 kind of cool'
