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 Your teacher tells you stop your playing, get on with your work And be like Johnnie-Too-good, don’t you know he never shirks He’s coming alongAfter 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 doubtDon’t do this and don’t do that
What are they trying to do? (Make a good boy of you) And 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 eyesMaybe I’m mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I’m just crazy, I don’t know wrong from right But while I’m 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 that way You’re coming along
