My Old School Lyrics - Singles - Stewart Copeland

When I was young I was a fool 

I was somebody else's tool 

I was at the mercy of my so-called friends 

You never saw a joke like me 

I was as dumb as I could be 

If I could go back to my school 

I'd show 'em how I broke the rules 

I'd show 'em all my wordly cool 

One day I fell out of the pack 

I felt like Yasser Arafat 

It was a close shave but I skipped that trap 

And now I've done some growing up 

I ain't the same old buttercup 

If I could go back to my school 

I'd show 'em all my worldly cool 

I never dared to take a chance 

I never asked a girl to dance 

And all my dreams were out of reach 

And when the girls came out to play 

I never had a thing to say 

And all my dreams were out of reach 

I never thought to disobey 

Not like I always do today 

If I could go back to my school 

I'd show 'em all my worldly cool
