what  did  you  learn  at  school  today
that's  what  the  teachers  used  to  say
but  they  don't  know
don't  understand  do  they
why  do  they  always  give  advice
saying  just  be  nice  always  think  twice
when  it's  been  a  long  time  since  they  had  a  teenage  life
what  did  you  learn  at  school  today
that's  what  the  teachers  used  to  say
but  they  don't  know
don't  understand  do  they
why  do  they  alwaya  give  advice
saying  just  be  nice  always  think  twice
when  it's  been  a  long  time  since  they  had  a  teenage  life
dwelling  on  the  past  from  back  when  i  was  young
thinking  of  my  school  days  and  trying  to  write  this  song
classroom  schemes  and  dreams
man  they  couldn't  save  me
cos  my  days  were  numbered  when  i  signed  down  on  avy
teenage  kicks  running  out  what  could  we  do
i  still  show  respect  to  my  boys  who  made  it  through
and  getting  told  off  MR  T  how  my  life  would  be
then  giving  him  a  signal
so  everyone  could  see
sunshine  and  shade
those  girls  i'd  serenade
thinking  of  thoses  sixth  form  chicks  that  misbehave
hoping  that  those  days  would  go  on  and  on  forever
every  day  something  new
just  friends  running  together
but  suddenly  school  ends
your  teenage  life  gone
all  your  mates  are  growing  up  now
they're  moving  on
and  now  i'm  looking  back
i'll  tell  you  what  i  know
do  you  listen  to  your  teachers
no  i  don't  think  so
what  did  you  learn  at  school  today
that's  what  the  teachers  used  to  say
but  they  don't  know
don't  understand  do  they
why  do  they  always  give  advice
saying  just  be  nice  always  think  twice
when  it's  been  a  long  time  since  they  had  a  teenage  life
mow  if  you  treat  the  kids  fine  together  they  will  shine
ooh  ooh  ooh  shine
and  if  you  give  the  kids  time  they  won't  do  the  crime
won't  do  the  crime
now  my  bad  old  ways
were  during  my  school  days
messing  on  those  grade  A's
my  life  is  just  a  haze
i'm  going  through  the  struggle
five  ten  and  kicking  back
so  i  could  lock  my  flow
lace  it  up  now  on  the  track
oh  yeh  i  felt  the  pain
whilst  chasing  all  the  fame
i'm  being  told  i'm  nothing
just  a  player  in  the  game
but  now  i  walk  tall
stand  proud  for  you  to  see
i'm  driving  these  fast  cars
it's  five  stars  for  me
what  did  you  learn  at  school  today
that's  what  the  teachers  used  to  say
but  they  don't  know
don't  understand  do  they
why  do  they  always  give  advice
saying  just  be  nice  always  think  twice
when  it's  been  a  long  time  since  they  had  a  teenage  life
