Go to school, dream away Life will get better some day Go to work, slave away Life will get better some day When you're well on your way If you drown all your sorrows In a tall glass of ale They'll come back, double fall So drown all your washing in an old rusty pail And when you breathe don't inhale Life will get better some day So sit on your high horse and never look down As long as you don't make a sound But how can we hear if nobody's listening Yeah ears have been locked and they've thrown away the key Now you're well on your way Life will get better some day
