作曲 : Brian D'Addario/Michael D'Addario
Shane does say on a tired summer day
“Mom and dad, I’d like to make a change or I’ll slip away”
Vaudeville School Days, on the TV set does play
Something clicks inside his little brain
The answer’s plain
The student becomes the teacher (wanna go to school)
And the teacher becomes the principal (let me go to school)
And the principal dies, and everybody cries (wanna go, let me go)
They remember him alive you see?
I want that for me
Dad does say “Well hey kid there’s just no way.
Don’t you ever turn on channel 5?
Hey man we want you alive
Life’s not fair
These kids they just don’t care
I’ll never let you step foot in that place
Don’t slip away
The student becomes the teacher (wanna go to school)
And the teacher becomes the principal (let me go to school)
And the principal dies, and everybody cries (wanna go, let me go)
They remember him alive you see?
I want that for me
Oh please believe me
I’m askin’ you to try
Life escapes me night and day
Well I just can’t stay
