Another Day by Echolyn
Another Day lyrics
Teacher said it would be nice
To listen once to her advice
But I sat there dreaming 'til her ruler cracked my
knuckles
Her five foot nothing body was as aide as she was tall
She was always pulling pants down to administer her
charm
Learn by example, told to respect
Do as we say, stand up straight and use your head
My parents spent good money to give my life a better
chance
I sat there, waiting for that recess bell to ring
My mind was always on something else
When it was time to crack the books
Like walking though the candy store
Or flipping cards out in the yard
Taught on the playground to fend for ourselves
Adopting strange habits you won't find at home
Disrupting dads castle and turning mom gray
These are just two of my favorite things
Sliding board and monkey bars
As far as the eye can see
The horseshow pits woke me up
In a place where I'd never grow old
All these dirty knees and broken bones
Were all a part of growing up
Dads whistle meant that it was time to eat
I live to play another day
He was not supposed to turn his head
We were not supposed to make a sound
Act like nothing ever happened
