Great American Success Story Lyrics - Alice Cooper

He was born in a depressed nation 

Started tough and worked his way right off the street 

Thumbed his nose at a graduation 

Wheeled and dealed, his education was complete 

He's got all his hair, but his life is a wreck 

Always been a brat, he don't get no respect 

He's got the time, he's got the money 

You better get out of his way 

You better watch out for him, sonny

Back to school 

He's gonna take that plunge 

Gonna jump back in there 

Back to school 

He's gonna shape his mind 

Gonna shed old skin there 

Back to school 

Spent some time in appreciation of finer arts 

And the human body mysteries 

Scoring high in procreation 

Got an 'A' in the study of female anatomy 

He thinks about his teacher in his literary class 

He's staring at her legs 

But he's dreaming 'bout her face 

He's got the time 

He's got the money 

You better get out of his way 

You better watch out for him, sonny
