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 [bad word]  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.
