Art School [Live at the Nashville, 1977-09-10] Songtext
von The Jam

Anything that you wanna do, anyplace that you wanna go
Don′t need permission for everything that you want
Any taste that you feel is right
Wear any clothes just as long as they're bright
Say what you want, ′cause this is a new art school
Do what you want if it takes your mind
Better do it now, 'cause you won't have time
And never worry if people laugh at you
The fools only laugh ′cause they envy you


Time is motion and the hands are fast
Young words are mumbled, they don′t always last
It's up to us to be sure they understand

Who makes the rules that make people select
Who is to judge that your ways are correct
The media as watchdog is absolute shit
The TV telling you what to think

Anything that you wanna do, anyplace that you wanna go
Don′t need permission for everything that you want
Any taste that you feel is right
Wear any clothes just as long as they're bright
Say what you want, ′cause this is a new art school
Do what you want, 'cause this is the new art school
