Hey teacher you know I really think
We were meant to read it between the lines
That was no ambush that he called out there
It's just that he was ahead of time
He couldn't keep silent, couldn't make a noise, couldn't reach out or say it
Though it looked like he didn't win he did begin to sway it
And if he could I'm sure he would have put it to the test
But none-the-less he did his best
And it's a whole lot more than I can say for all the rest

And everyday, everyday
Everyday it's a long way to go

Hey mister you know I really think you're too quick with your decisions
You slash around the foreign ground and cut us into up & down divisions
Well don't get me wrong I've been looking long & hard at your hand
There's a mirror above that you didn't know of
And I know what card you're gonna land
Now you think that you caught me well you better think twice
This game won't last long enough for me
To take one roll from the loaded dice

And everyday, everyday it's a long way to go

Hey my friend you know I really think that it's time for us to travel
It's such a pleasure watching keys to the treasure
Slowly show themselves and unravel
Well put us up behind the wheel let's see how far we'll roll
We'll go around the bridge uptown so we don't have to pay the toll
And we'll pick up the ones who are just like us
While we're going round the bend
And get closer and closer and further away
From the start and to the end, my friend

And everyday, everyday it's a long way to go
