Everybody goes to school (sometime).
There's no exception to the rule.
(Listen, baby) playing hooky is not cool,
(I ain't lying) everybody goes to school.

Getting good grades is such an hard thing, I can say
And there's no guarantee that the effort you make will get you an A.
O-o-o-h, snooty eyes they cannot see what a wonderful person you
could be;
Hate runs deeper than any ocean,
It's a really stupid emotion.

But everybody goes to school (sometime).
There's no exception to the rule.
(Listen, baby) playing hooky is not cool,
(I ain't lying) everybody goes to school.

Ah, can you help it when the bell starts to ring,
And you want to go home more than anything?
Oh, remember how great you can be;
Your peers are out of touch with reality;
And now you cry, but when you're through,
They won't succed as well as you.

Everybody goes to school, (sometime).
So use your mind just like a tool.
(Listen, baby) you'll be successful as a rule,
(The joke's on the bullies)
everybody goes to school.

(Listen to me baby)
Everybody goes to school (sometime).
There's no exception to the rule,
(you wanna good career)
playing hooky is not cool,
(you wanna succeed), everybody goes to school.
