Somewhat Off The Way

(Oh)

(Oh)

Were the teachers any good at it?

Were they good at their jobs?

It must be hard, can they handle it

When we become what they said we'd not?

(Oh)

(Oh)

Now, we work and we pay for it

Doing any old chore

It makes money so we stick it through

And day to day, the days go by and by and by and by and well

I just don't want to die like a fool

I'm not lost, I'm somewhat off the way

I'm gonna do what I said I'd do at school

And be the one that says

"Hey, this ain't so hard and it's kind of cool"

(Oh)

(Oh)

When we look at the clock we know

How much longer we have

It's not the hours and the minutes that go

It's everything that we said, and it's gone, are you glad?

Now, we're struggling to pay the bills

With the money we've got

And the world seems to frown on us

And we're learning more than we've ever learnt

And I like it a lot

I just don't want to die like a fool

I'm not lost, I'm somewhat off the way

I'm gonna do what I said I'd do at school

And be the one that says

"Hey, this ain't so hard and it's kind of cool"

(Oh)

(Oh)
