Back To School Lyrics - The Friends Of Mr. Cairo - Jon And Vangelis

Made my escape just a few days ago 

I don't wanna tell you how low you can go 

Movin' on up get a job quickly 

Somethin' hit me, don't know what it was 

I wanna go back this week 

I wanna go back this week 

I wanna go back this minute 

They said I was unruly, better get a job 

I really didn't understand the meaning of the word 

I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss 

He simply put me down and said I wasn't to be trusted 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back to school 

I wanna go back to school 

You might think I'm a crazy fool 

I wanna go back to school 

Man it's safer in there 

The world outside is so uncool 

(I need the money right now, I need the right job) 

The guys at work just needle me, they just can't get enough 

I telephoned my friend, he said, "Same with me" 

So what are we going to do in this unearthly factory 

I don't understand, how I was pushed to the brink 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

Man it's crazy out here 

In this outer world 

I wanna go back to school, let me go 

So I'm sitting in the dark 

In my bed the other night 

Thinking about my teacher 

Now wasn't she right 

They said you'd get a shock 

Like coming out of the womb 

The world outside's enormous 

[Incomprehensible] so much room 

People kick and tear your brain 

Life out side's insane 

I wanna go back, here me now 

I really tried to work so hard 

They told me scrub the floor 

They kicked me like a toy 

Nailed me to the door 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I'm gonna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna hear it, hear it 

Hear the golden rule 

I wanna go back to school 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna hear the golden rule 

(Yeah, yeah) 

I wanna go back to school 

(Yeah, yeah) 

Man, it is crazy, one more time 

I wanna go back to school 

Back to school
