You say you're thinkin' that everything is all right
But you know it's a little before midnight
You say you're learnin', yeah, you think it's air-tight
I'll show you school, I'll show you school

This life ain't worth the price of a piece of pie
You ain't playin' G.I. Joe
How do we make it so?

You say you're thinkin' that everything is all right
But you know it's way after midnight
You say you're learnin', yeah, you think it's air-tight
I'll show you rules, I'll show you rules

This life ain't worth the price of a piece of pie
You ain't playin' G.I. Joe
Work so hard and you take the time 'cause you need the dough
How do we make it so?

[repeat above chorus]
