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
School is the place to be
When you're young and fancy free
'Cause you got what? 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
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
School is the place to be
When you're young and fancy free
'Cause you got what? 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
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 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
It's where you should be livin'
This ain't no trip, this ain't no trip
It's your own school home town
It's where you should be givin'
This ain't no trip to a foreign land
