Another Day – Echolyn – letras

Teacher said it would be niceTo listen once to her adviceBut I sat there dreaming ’til her ruler cracked my knucklesHer five foot nothing body was as aide as she was tallShe was always pulling pants down to administer her charmLearn by example, told to respectDo as we say, stand up straight and use your headMy parents spent good money to give my life a better chanceI sat there, waiting for that recess bell to ringMy mind was always on something elseWhen it was time to crack the booksLike walking though the candy storeOr flipping cards out in the yardTaught on the playground to fend for ourselvesAdopting strange habits you won’t find at homeDisrupting dads castle and turning mom grayThese are just two of my favorite thingsSliding board and monkey barsAs far as the eye can seeThe horseshow pits woke me upIn a place where I’d never grow oldAll these dirty knees and broken bonesWere all a part of growing upDads whistle meant that it was time to eatI live to play another dayHe was not supposed to turn his headWe were not supposed to make a soundAct like nothing ever happened
