new day begun (kevin so)
wake up son the day’s begun
for another year of school
you’re twelve and a half, i can’t help but laugh
i remember when i was like you
get up get dressed you’ve had your rest
it’s almost 7:49am
we can’t be late your mom’ll hate me
if i don’t get you there on time
wake up son the day’s begun
come on come on come on a new day begun
we’ll take the car it’s not too far
twenty minutes during rush hour
we can stop and eat get some good stuff cheap
we can split a gay may bow
but we can’t stay long we gotta move on
the first day is always weird
there’ll be lots of kids and yeah i know how it is
and i want you to be prepared
wake up son the day’s begun
come on come on come on a new day begun
after i drop you off tell them the fault was mine
tell them that i got lost that i barely know how to drive
if they give you hell if they keep you after school
have them give me a call and everything will be cool
it’s all right did you stay up all night ?
were you picking out clothes to wear ?
putting new laces on your old adidases
you do this every year
but you need your sleep so next day you’ll be
wide awake and feel the morning breeze
when i was twelve like you i had to quit school
had to work for the family, yeah i had to work for my family
so wake up son the day’s begun
come on come on come on a new day begun
