School always started the same everyday  
          
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray 
            
Not every kid made the team when they tried 
           
We got disappointed but that was alright 
                          
We turned out alright

 Bm        Em 
No bottled water

We drank from a garden hose 
 Bm         Em 
And every Sunday 
  C  
All the stores were closed

          C    D     G            
It was a different world.
