Lyrics
This could be about anyone, a daughter or a son
Straight from school to working class, you know your life is done
'cause you're out of school and no one cares
yeah you're out of school and no one cares
Wanna make a better life, honest or Al Capone
Wanna be a new breed, wanna make it on your own
'cause you're out of school and no one cares
yeah you're out of school and no one cares
This could be about anyone, a daughter or a son
Straight from school to working class, you know your life is done
'cause you're out of school and no one cares
yeah you're out of school and no one cares
you're out of school and no one cares
yeah you're out of school but the AR-MY CARES!
