I told you don't you listen to those damn songs
'Cause if you're hearing music you would get me wrong
Now listen to me, boy, the maths lesson won't be long
So read it, just read it

You better go, you better change the school
I see you feel so hot, I know you feel so cool
But if you don't learn you'll just end as a fool
So read it
But you wanna be dull

Just read it! (Read it)
Read it! (Read it)
No one wants to be a pupil
Acting so groovy and playing it cool
But they'll just end up as stupid fools
So read it
Just read it
So read it
Just read it (No!)

We're out to get'cha, better leave while you can
Don't be a crazy boy, just be a gentleman
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So read it, just read it (No!)

You have to show me that you're really not scared
You're learning lessons, boy, this ain't no truth or dare
Open the book and read it, I will tell you it's fair
Just read it
But you wanna be bad

Just read it! (Read it)
Read it! (Read it)
No one wants to be a pupil
Acting so groovy and playing it cool
But they'll just end up as stupid fools
Don't beat it! (Beat it)
Read it! (Read it)
Look, I'm such a lazy schoolboy
Playing computer, reading Harry Potter
I am just dating the teacher's daughter
Just read it, read it, read it ... (etc.)
Read it, read it, read it ... (etc.)

[GUITAR SOLO]

Read it! (Read it)
Read it! (Read it)
No one wants to be a pupil
Acting so groovy and playing it cool
But they'll just end up as stupid fools
Don't beat it! (Beat it)
Read it! (Read it)
Look, I'm such a lazy schoolboy
Playing computer, reading Harry Potter
I am just dating the teacher's daughter
Just read it! (Read it)
Read it! (Read it)
I won't open up the maths book
Go to the library to just take a look
Reading Peter Pan and Captain Hook
Don't eat it! (Eat it)
Read it! (Read it)
See, I'm such a foolish schoolboy
Eating some popcorn, watching movies
Not doing homework, but acting groovy
