Stewart Copeland - My Old School lyrics

When I was young I was a fool I was somebody else's tool I was at the mercy of my so-called friends You never saw a joke like me I was as dumb as I could be If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em how I broke the rules I'd show 'em all my wordly cool One day I fell out of the pack I felt like Ya**er Arafat It was a close shave but I skipped that trap And now I've done some growing up I ain't the same old bu*tercup If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em how I broke the rules I'd show 'em all my worldly cool If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em all my worldly cool I never dared to take a chance I never asked a girl to dance And all my dreams were out of reach And when the girls came out to play I never had a thing to say And all my dreams were out of reach I never thought to disobey Not like I always do today If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em how I broke the rules I'd show 'em all my wordly cool If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em all my worldly cool If I could go back to my school I'd show 'em all my worldly cool
