| Made my escape just a few days ago
 | 
| I don’t wanna tell you how low you can go Movin' on up get a job quickly
 | 
| Somthin hit me I don’t know wot it was
 | 
| I wanna go back this (week)
 | 
| I wanna go back this (week)
 | 
| I wanna go back this (minute)
 | 
| They said I was unruly
 | 
| Better get a job
 | 
| I really didn’t understand the meaning of the word
 | 
| I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss
 | 
| He simply put me down and said I wasn’t
 | 
| (To be trusted)
 | 
| So I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| You might think I’m a crazy fool
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| Man it’s safer in there
 | 
| The world outside is so uncool
 | 
| I need the money right now, I need the right job
 | 
| The guys at work just needle me, they just can’t
 | 
| get enough
 | 
| I telephoned my friend, he said «same with me»
 | 
| So wot are we going to do in this unearthly factory
 | 
| I don’t understand, how I was pushed to the brink
 | 
| I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| Man it’s crazy out here in the 'outer' world
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| So I’m sitting in the dark
 | 
| In my bed the other night
 | 
| Thinking about my teacher
 | 
| Now wasn’t she right
 | 
| They said you’d get a shock
 | 
| Just like coming out of the womb
 | 
| The world outside’s enormous
 | 
| There’s only so much room
 | 
| People kick and tear your brain
 | 
| Life outside’s insane
 | 
| I wanna go back «HERE ME NOW»
 | 
| I really tried to work so hard
 | 
| They told me scrub the floor
 | 
| They kicked me like a toy
 | 
| Nailed me to the door
 | 
| I wanna go back to school
 | 
| I wanna hear it, hear it Hear the golden rule
 | 
| I wanna go back to school |
