It’s Easier to be Good in School than it is to be Bad
It’s easier to be good in school than it is to be bad
If you only knew the energy I have to add
The effort it takes for me to keep shouting out
I should have put my hand up because when its time to play I go without
It takes ages for me to refuse to do my task
When if I needed help all I had to do was ask
And then out on the yard I fuss and fight
When it would be so much easier to be polite
Come the afternoon I distract the lesson to get a laugh
Then miss sends me off to another member of staff
When it’s time to go home my teacher is not happy
So she tells mum and mum get snappy
So tomorrow I think I’ll try and be good
Because I know deep down I really could.
