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.
