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.
