lyrics

Mama said you’d better believe it
Everyone’s got to go to school
Daddy said better be a good boy
Don’t want you growing up a fool

Tell everybody that I used to know
I’m livin’ in the city now playin’ rock ‘n’ roll

My brother said don’t give in easy
Sister said try to stay cool
Teachers told me rebels get nowhere
It’s best to stick to the rules

Well tell everybody that I used to know
I’m livin’ in the city now playin’ rock ‘n’ roll

The preacher didn’t give me no bible
So how’d he expect me to settle down?
We always had good times
Friends was easily found

Yes you can tell everybody that I used to know
I’m livin’ in the city and playin’ rock ‘n’ roll

Some things sure come easy
But others you’ve got to work for
The little girl who caught my eye
Only lived next door

But I never did get to kiss her

If you feel like getting out
To live a life on your own
You can’t stay trapped in
This barbed-wire battle zone

Tell everybody that I used to know
I’m livin’ in the city
I’m playin’ rock ‘n’ roll
