It's afternoon in the homeroom and they're about to let you go.
|
And the locker slam on the plan you had tonight.
|
You've been messing around with a boyfriend maybe better left alone.
|
There's a wise guy that you know could put you right.
|
|
In the lot the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart.
|
Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you.
|
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart.
|
Believe it or not there's life after high school.
|
|
The student body's got a bad reputation.
|
What they need is adult education.
|
Back to school it's a bad situation.
|
But what you want is an adult education.
|
|
The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body.
|
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool.
|
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and they're talkin' about it.
|
Believe it or not there's life after high school.
|
|
They're calling it a preparation.
|
You're waiting for a separation.
|
You're nothing but another odd number,
|
Memories that you won't remember.
|
So you got a little education.
|
And a lot of dedication.
|
But you want a little night school.
|
Maybe some of it will rub off on you.
|
The boys are busy in the mirrors.
|
Trying to imitate their heroes.
|
You make it with a false surrender.
|
More memories you won't remember.
|
The senior with the junior miss's
|
I wonder what the junior wishes.
|
That she could graduate to adult.
|
That she could graduate to adult kisses.
