Stay In School

STAY IN SCHOOL

Casanova, roll right over
Sitting in the last café
Acting my age half way
Cars exploding, markets folding
No one shops here anyway
Calvary meets Chevrolet

I traded knowledge for tape decks and beer
Caroling cocktails and all I hold dear
Now the world’s ending did you ever hear
You should stay in school?

Carry over, sitting sober
As the money rolls away
Take the last holiday

Can you spot me half a century?
If I’m in your thoughts today
Give me the right of way
Glossing over Casanova
Sitting in the last café
Feeling my age each day

I convinced everyone nothing is free
Left out the part that was all about me
Now the world’s ending did I ever see
You should stay in school?
