Made my escape just a few days ago I don't wanna tell you how low you can go Movin' on up get a job quickly Somthin hit me I don't know wot it was I wanna go back this (week) I wanna go back this (week) I wanna go back this (minute) They said I was unruly Better get a job I really didn't understand the meaning of the word I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss He simply put me down and said I wasn't (To be trusted) So I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school You might think I'm a crazy fool I wanna go back to school Man its safer in there The world outside is so uncool I need the money right now, I need the right job The guys at work just needle me, they just can't get enough I telephoned my friend, he said "same with me" So wot are we going to do in this unearthly factory
I don't understand, how I was pushed to the brink I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school I wanna go back to school Man it's crazy out here in the 'outer' world I wanna go back to school So I'm sitting in the dark In my bed the other night Thinking about my teacher Now wasn't she right They said youd get a shock Just like coming out of the womb The world outside's enormous There's only so much room People kick and tear your brain Life outside's insane I wanna go back "HERE ME NOW" I really tried to work so hard They told me scrub the floor They kicked me like a toy Nailed me to the door I wanna go back to school I wanna hear it, hear it Hear the golden rule I wanna go back to school
