Counting the days to get away 
to pack your bags up on a plane 
But see Bob run yeah! See Bob play 
why not talk to Bob today 
If you wanna save the lost 
you don't have to travel South 
You don't have to pay the cost 
just run your mouth 

School is the place to be 
when you're young and fancy free 
'Cause you got what? Mmm half a day 
to give your life away 
In Uncle Sam's soul salvation program 
government funded paid in full 
A.K.A. your public school 
They pay to put you in the classes 
it's your chance to reach the masses 

This ain't no trip to a foreign land 
this ain't no trip to a foreign land 
but you can take a stand 
in your Public school 

This may Mexico, Columbia or France 
you want to go to Africa well now you got a chance 
Talk to your friends before the fun ends 
you can take 'em by surprise when you open their eyes 

School is the place to be

This ain't no trip to a foreign land. 
No passport of any sort this ain't no trip 
This ain't no trip to a foreign land. 
This ain't no trip to a foreign land. 

It's your own school home town its where you should be livin' 
This ain't no trip 
This ain't no trip 
It's your own school home town its where you should be givin' 

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
