the pressure builds up all year long
but I'll try and stick it out
just one more day
my teachers and my parents
they never let up - they're always on my case
just one more day

the homework I get sometimes is way too much
so I'll copy off my friends
just one more day

the friends I've made - I'll never forget
when I need help - they push me on
just one more day

I open my eyes to another day
I know what's ahead and I want to stay in bed
I haven't studied for my test and all my homework is a mess
back to school again

down by the lockers at lunch time
that's where we'll be my friends and I
planning our weekends - hooking up dates
till the lunch bell rings
then we know it's back to school again

the things I learn in my school
math, science, and all the rules
seem stupid now - but I'll get good grades
instead of blowing my summer away
back to school again

you - must never give up
you - must always push on
you - must have the will to succeed
you - must not fall victim to the dropout disease

I've made it through another day
kept out of determination - and that's okay
I wonder what tomorrow will bring
will I cut school or bring my homework in
