SCHOOL IS OUT AS IT IS THE END OF DAY
YOU TALK TO YOU FRIEND BEFORE YOU GET ON YOUR WAY
FOR IT MIGHT BE A MILE WALK BEFORE YOU GET HOME
AND THEIR WASN’T TIME TO STOP AT THE LAKE JUST TO THROW A STONE
FOR THERE IS WORK THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE
BEFORE WE EVEN THOUGHT OF HAVING ANY FUN
NOW MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED US BYE
AS YOU SIT AND LISTEN TO THE KIDS AS THEY CRY
THE CELL PHONE IS DEAD THEY CAN’T TEX THEIR FRIEND
TO LET THEM KNOW JUST HOW BAD THEIR DAY HAS BEEN
IT IS EIGHT BLOCKS TO WHERE THEY LIVE
AND CAN’T BELIEVE MOM DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY TO GIVE
FOR THEY WANT TO ROME IN THE HALLS AT THE MALL
AND TALK TO THEIR FRIENDS THINKING THIS IS A BALL
BUT IF YOU GAVE THE KIDS A SHOVEL AND ASK FOR HELP
THEY WOULD HOLLER CHILD ABUSE AS IF YOU GAVE THEM A BELT
TIME HAS CHANGE WE WONDER IF IT IS FOR THE BEST
AS WE WILL LEARN THE ANSWER AT THE END OF OUR QUEST
