Monday morning school day
Eat your breakfast, arrest your books
You're late for school
Sitting in the classroom
Teacher wants young Hemingway
You'll never know
(And you feel so bad)
(And you look so sad)
And don't you know school breeds success
And I keep thinking that I couldn't careless
Oh, yes
(You're cheatin' in school)
Looking at Harold's paper
(Cheatin' in school)
Playing around
(Cheatin' in school)
Running for sudden glory
(Cheatin' in school)
Stop playing around with my head
Now you're in detention
Life suspension of your dreams
Gone away
Sitting there so lonely, (so lonely)
Dreaming of a holiday
That you'll never know
(And you feel so bad)
Ah
(And you look so sad)
And don't you know school breeds success
And I keep thinking that I couldn't careless
(O, yes you're cheatin' in school)
Looking at Harold's paper
(Cheatin' in school)
Playing around
(Cheatin' in school)
Running for sudden glory
(Cheatin' in school)
Stop playing around with my head
(Cheatin' in)
(Cheatin' in school)
Looking at Harold's paper
(Cheatin' in school)
Playing around
(Cheatin' in school)
Autograph Laura's notes
(Cheatin' in school)
Playing around with my head
(Cheatin' in school)
Looking at Harold's paper
(Cheatin' in school)
Playing around with my
(Cheatin' in school)
Running for sudden glory
(Cheatin' in school, yea)
Cheatin' in school, yea
Playing around with my head
Cheatin' in school
School, yea
Oh no, no, no, no
Running for sudden glory
Cheatin' in school
Playing around
Cheatin' in school
Looking at Harold's paper
Cheatin' in school
Stop playing around with my head.
