Mother, Don't want to go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
They keep calling asking me
If I'll come in
Is that a sin
If being lazy is the only reason
It's getting late
So, mother don't you hesitate
To pack my lunch
And I'll be on my way to school
Mother, don't want to go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
The teacher's always looking down
With her disappointed frown
Asking me to go sleep somewhere else
My levelheaded mother
Always said to one another
That the truth will always hurt
If you keep waiting
I said waiting
I think I'd rather go outside and play
They keep calling asking me
If I'll come in
Is that a sin
If being lazy is the only reason
It's getting late
So, mother don't you hesitate
To pack my lunch
And I'll be on my way to school
Mother, don't want to go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
The teacher's always looking down
With her disappointed frown
Asking me to go sleep somewhere else
My levelheaded mother
Always said to one another
That the truth will always hurt
If you keep waiting
I said waiting

FUCKING KICK ASS GUITAR IN THIS SONG!
This is my favourite song of all time, by my favourite band ever. The guitar rules all the way through, but what I love the most is the key change at the end Gary Cherone rings out "MUTHAAAAA" whilst the band sing the chorus words as normal...and the nanana's during the fade, which people normally hate but they really work at the end.
The teacher's always looking down
When I piss upon the ground
teehee
