Lyrics Roger Hodgson

Roger Hodgson

School

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

[Instrumental break]

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 criticize, they're old and wise

Do as they tell you to

Don't want the devil to

Come and put out 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 it that way

- you're coming along!
