Teenage life |
("What did you learn at school today?") |
(That's what the teachers used to say) Oh yeah |
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
(Why do they always give advice?) Always |
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) Let's go |
|
("What did you learn at school today?") What did you learn? |
(That's what the teachers used to say) What did you learn? |
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
(Why do they always give advice?) Always, always |
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
|
Dwellin' on the past, from back when I was young |
Thinkin' of my school days and tryin' to write this song |
Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me |
'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy |
|
Teenage kicks running out, what could we do? |
I still show respect to my boys who made it through |
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be |
Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see |
|
Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade |
Thinkin' of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (Whatever) |
Hopin' that those days would go on and on forever |
Every day something new, just friends runnin' together |
|
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone |
All your mates are growin' up, now they're movin' on |
And now I'm lookin' back, I'll tell you what I know |
Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so |
|
("What did you learn at school today?") Yeah, yeah |
(That's what the teachers used to say) |
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
(Why do they always give advice?) |
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
|
Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine |
Yeah, yeah |
(Ooh... shine) We all will shine, hear me now |
And if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime |
No, no (Won't do the crime) |
Yeah |
|
Now my bad old ways were durin' my school days |
Messin' with those grade A's, my life is just a haze |
I'm goin' through the struggle, five ten and kickin' back |
So I could lock the flow, lace it up now on the track |
|
Oh yeah, I felt the pain whilst chasin' all the fame |
I'm being told I'm nothin', just a player in the game |
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see |
I'm drivin' these fast cars, it's five stars for me |
|
("What did you learn at school today?") |
Just take your turn, you gotta learn |
(That's what the teachers used to say) |
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?) |
They don't know nothin' |
(Why do they always give advice?) Always givin' advice, yeah |
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice") |
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
|
Yeah, yeah |
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) |
