Paroles de Somewhat off the way

Were the teachers any good at it?
Were they good at their jobs?
It must be hard, can they handle it
When we become what they said we'd not?

Now we work and we pay for it doing any old chore
It makes money so we stick it through
And day to day the days go by
And by and by and by and well

I just don't want to die like a fool
I'm not lost, i'm somewhat off the way
I'm gonna do what i said i'd do at school
And be the one that says "hey, this ain't so hard and it's kind of cool"

When we look at the clock we know
How much longer we have
It's not the hours and the minutes that go
It's everything that we said and it's gone are you glad

Now we're struggling to pay the bills
With the money we've got
And the world seems to frown on us
And we're learning more than we've ever learnt and i like it a lot

I just don't want to die like a fool
I'm not lost, i'm somewhat off the way
I'm gonna do what i said i'd do at school
And be the one that says "hey, this ain't so hard and it's kind of cool"
