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
