  • I can see you in the morning when you go to school
    Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule
    Your teacher tells you stop your playing, get on with your work
    And be like Johnnie-Too-good, don't you know he never shirks
    He's coming along

    After school is over, you're playing in the park
    Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
    They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
    And grow up just like them, won't you let it work it out
    And you're full of doubt

    Don't do this and don't do that
    What are they trying to do?
    (Make a good boy of you)
    And do they know where it's at?
    Don't criticize, they're old and wise
    Do as they tell you to
    Don't want the devil to
    Come and put out your eyes

    Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
    Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
    But while I'm still living, I've just got this to say
    It's always up to you if you want to be that
    Want to see that, want to see that way
    You're coming along Writer/s: Richard Davies, Roger Hodgson
