I can see you in the morning when you go to school.
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule.
(+Clarinet)
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work,
And be like Johnny Toogood. Don't you know he never shirks.
He's coming along.
(EP, Freely, Very slow lead-in)
(EP +Bass +Drums)
After school is over, you're playing in the park.
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark.
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about.
And grow up just like them, won't let you work it out.
And you're full of doubt.

Don't do this, and don't do that.
What are they tryin' to do?
Make a good boy of you.
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise, they're old and wise.
Do as they tell you to.
Don't want the devil to
Come and pull out your eyes.
(EP +Bass +Drums)
Maybe I'm mistaken, expecting you to fight.
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right.
But while I'm still living, I've just got this to say.
It's always up to you, if you wanna be that,
Wanna see that, wanna see it that way.
Am7+9 (Hold to finish)
You're coming along.
