Counting the days to get away

To pack your bags up on a plane

But see bob run yeah! see bob play

Why not talk to bob today





If you wanna save the lost

You don't have to travel south

You don't have to pay the cost

Just run your mouth





Pre-chorus

School is the place to be

When you're young and fancy free

'cause you got what? mmm half a day

To give your life away

In uncle sam's soul salvation program

Government funded paid in full

A.k.a. your public school

They pay to put you in the classes

It's your chance to reach the masses





Chorus

This ain't no trip to a foreign land

This ain't no trip to a foreign land

But you can take a stand

In your public school





This may mexico, columbia or france

You want to go to africa well now you got a chance

Talk to your friends before the fun ends

You can take 'em by surprise when you open their eyes





Repeat pre-chorus





Repeat chorus





Chorus out

This ain't no trip

This ain't no trip

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.

No passport of any sort this ain't no trip

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.

This ain't no trip to a foreign land.





It's your own school home town its where you should be livin'

This ain't no trip

This ain't no trip

It's your own school home town its where you should be givin'





This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
