I got up late,five to nine I missed the bus,I losing my mind Another day I'm off to school Another day to break the rules Got caught smokin' in the halls The principal is after my balls Teachers here don't understand me I just wanna be free - Say it

(Where's your homework?) - I ain't got it done I'd like to change the way things are run They met my mom at the PTA And said "Your son skipped school today" Got caught writing on the walls All my teachers are after my balls Detention halls are not for me I just wanna be free - Say it

Three o'clock and I run for the door I can't take these rules no more The teacher grabs me by the hair "Sit down boy,you ain't goin' nowhere" I sold my books to buy a guitar I don't need school to be a star My only "A" became an "E" I don't need no degree - Alright
