Let's Go Back To School

(album: Priorities - 2012)

I used to get the highest marks.
I used to be top of the class.
I once believed I'd rule the whole world.
I used to push the biggest weight.
I fooled myself I ran the place.
I once believed that was the real world.

All our youth and all our cash need something to do.
We'll attract admiring glances.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.
Wide eyes and distant plans, that's an offer you can't refuse.
We'll even turn up to our classes.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.

I once believed... I once believed I was the don...
Hello, hello, hello, you can't get enough of me.
Hello, hello, hello, I couldn't get enough of me.
Spent every evening chasing skirts.
I thought I looked so good it hurts.
I used to think I had it all down.

All our youth and all our cash need something to do.
We'll attract admiring glances.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.
Wide eyes and distant plans, that's an offer you can't refuse.
We'll even turn up to our classes.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.

Drank my loan and now I owe the banks a lot,
But down the hatch it goes.
Tried acting tough and all grown up,
Though cringe to watch did not last long enough.

All our youth and all our cash need something to do.
We'll attract admiring glances.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.
Wide eyes and distant plans, that's an offer you can't refuse.
We'll even turn up to our classes.
Let's go back to school, let's go back to school.

I once believed, I once believed...
I once believed, I once believed... that it was real.
