Happy Days

Skin your knees and taste your blood
While you struggle through the mud
It builds character they say
Running on a winter's day
Icy fingers, frozen toes
Hot breath burning in your nose
Well I guess I'd rather play
Something else today just

Stay sane, play the game
Don't fight, don't bite
Head down, see things in the round you have to
Put up with some degradation to get yourself an education

These are the best days of your life or so they say
These are the best days of your life or so they say

Sunday evening and your
Guts are heaving cos you
Went out with your mates
And now it's way too late to
Write that English essay
Hand it in all messy
Teacher knows that you just
Wrote it on the school bus

Stay sane, play the game
Don't fight, don't bite
Head down, see things in the round you have to
Put up with some perspiration to get yourself an education

These are the best days of your life or so they say
These are the best days of your life or so they say

Playground insults, playground rules
Psychological abuse
Well you'll probably be OK
Unless you're fat or poor or gay
School of hard knocks, Happy Days
Learn to dodge the bully's gaze
Sticks and stones just break your bones
Poisoned words can leave you

Alone, on your own
Outside, ostracized
Head down, see things in the round you have to
Put up with some alienation to get yourself an education

These are the best days of your life or so they say
These are the best days of your life or so they say
