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

no one believes in me
i have faith in myself now
i know i can do it
no problem
