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
The teacher tells you stop your play, get on with your work
And be like Johnnie too good, 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 let you work it out
And you're full of doubt Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?
Make a good boy of you
But 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 pull 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'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
