Teenage Life By Daz Sampson

Now hear this!
"What, did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
(Oh yeah)
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why, do they always give advice?
(Always)
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
(Let's go)
"What, did you learn at school today?"
(What did you learn?)
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why, do they always give advice?
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams,
man they couldn't save me
Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
Teenage kicks running out what could we do?
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal so everyone could see Sunshine and shade,
those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new, just friends running together
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone
All your mates are growing up, now they're moving on
And now I'm looking back, I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher? No I don't think so!
"What, did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why, do they always give advice?
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life
Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine
(yeah, yeah)
Ooh-oh-oh shine
We all will shine
(hear me now)
And if you treat the kids fine,
they won't do the crime
(no, no)
Won't do the crime

Now my bad old ways were during my school days
Messing with those grade A's,
my life is just a haze I'm going through the struggle,
five ten and kicking back So I could lock the flow,
lace it up now on the track
Oh yes I felt the pain, whilst chasing all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothing just a player in the game
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see
I'm driving these fast cars, it's five stars for me
"What, did you learn at school today?"
(Just take your turn)
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know, don't understand, do they? Why...
(They don't know nothing)
... do they always give advice?
(Always giving advice)
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life
(Yeah yeah)
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life :)
