Now hear this      What did you learn at school today ?   That's what the teachers used to say   But they don't know    Don't understand, do they ?   Why do they always give advice ?   Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"   When it's been a long since they had a teenage life      What did you learn at school today ?   That's what the teachers used to say   But they don't know    Don't understand, do they ?   Why do they always give advice   Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"   When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life      Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young   Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song   Classroom schemes and dreams   Man they couldn't save me   Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on “Avy”   Teenage kicks running out what could we do   I still show respect to my boys who made it through   And getting told off Mr T how my life would be   Then giving him a signal    So everyone could see   Sunshine and shade   Those girls I'd serenade   Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave   Hoping that those days would go on and on forever   Every day something new   Just friends running together   But suddenly school ends   Your teenage life gone   All your mates are growing up now   They're moving on   And now I'm looking back   I'll tell you what I know   Do you listen to your teacher ?   No I don't think so      "What did you learn at school today?"   That's what the teachers used to say   But they don't know    Don't understand, do they ?   Why do they always give advice   Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"   When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life      And if you give the kids time, together they will shine    Ooh ooh ooh shine   Now if you treat the kids fine, they wont do the crime   Won't do the crime      Now my bad old ways   Were during my school days   Messing on those grade A's   My life is just a haze   I'm going through the struggle   Five ten and kicking back   So I could lock my flow   Lace it up now on the track   Oh yeh I felt the pain   Whilst chasing all the fame   I'm being told I'm nothing    Just a player in the game   But now I walk tall   Stand proud for you to see   I'm driving these fast cars   It's five stars for me      "What did you learn at school today?"   That's what the teachers used to say   But they don't know    Don't understand, do they?   Why do they always give advice   Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"   When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
