What I Had in Mind
I've always seen schooldays
Through September eyes
Could never concentrate
Could never memorize
All the blackboard figures and facts
Oh, how I fell behind
For dreams and schemes
And visions of summertime
It was what I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
My ma could find no A's
In my report card news
Hoped it was just a phase
That I was going through
"Does not apply himself", I would hear
Could never fall in line
With the slave all day
For minimum pay design
It wasn't what I had in mind
I could never see the relevance
Or the intelligence
Of preaching gloom and doom
Nor could I address the elephant in the room
Now that's what I had in mind
I could never see the relevance
Or the intelligence
Of preaching gloom and doom
Nor could I address the elephant in the room
So many shades of grey
In these November skies
As another year decays
To cut ya down to size
Heading out of town for a show
Down the Vivian Line
In the rearview mirror leaving all of our tears behind
Now that's what I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
What I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
What I had in mind
Through September eyes
Could never concentrate
Could never memorize
All the blackboard figures and facts
Oh, how I fell behind
For dreams and schemes
And visions of summertime
It was what I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
My ma could find no A's
In my report card news
Hoped it was just a phase
That I was going through
"Does not apply himself", I would hear
Could never fall in line
With the slave all day
For minimum pay design
It wasn't what I had in mind
I could never see the relevance
Or the intelligence
Of preaching gloom and doom
Nor could I address the elephant in the room
Now that's what I had in mind
I could never see the relevance
Or the intelligence
Of preaching gloom and doom
Nor could I address the elephant in the room
So many shades of grey
In these November skies
As another year decays
To cut ya down to size
Heading out of town for a show
Down the Vivian Line
In the rearview mirror leaving all of our tears behind
Now that's what I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
What I had in mind
Ooh-ooh-oh
What I had in mind
