Counting the days to get away   to pack your bags up on a plane   But see Bob run yeah! See Bob play   why not talk to Bob today         If you wanna save the lost   you don't have to travel South   You don't have to pay the cost   just run your mouth         PRE-CHORUS   School is the place to be   when you're young and fancy free   'Cause you got what? Mmm half a day   to give your life away   In Uncle Sam's soul salvation program   government funded paid in full   A.K.A. your public school   They pay to put you in the classes   it's your chance to reach the masses         CHORUS   This ain't no trip to a foreign land   this ain't no trip to a foreign land   but you can take a stand   in your Public school         This may Mexico, Columbia or France   you want to go to Africa well now you got a chance   Talk to your friends before the fun ends   you can take 'em by surprise when you open their eyes         REPEAT PRE-CHORUS         REPEAT CHORUS         CHORUS OUT   This ain't no trip   This ain't no trip   This ain't no trip to a foreign land.   This ain't no trip to a foreign land.   This ain't no trip to a foreign land.   No passport of any sort this ain't no trip   This ain't no trip to a foreign land.   This ain't no trip to a foreign land.         It's your own school home town its where you should be livin'   This ain't no trip   This ain't no trip   It's your own school home town its where you should be givin'         This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
