They tore my high school to the ground and
|
put a new wing in the east lot
|
On my old parking spot
|
It stands reminding me of how
|
I wish that i could travel back in time
|
Change my state of mind
|
|
So if you're still in your teens listen to me
|
|
It's hard to see beyond these walls
|
Of who (who) and who not to be
|
Socially
|
Maybe you're in you're out
|
But in the end when all your hats are in the air
|
Nobody's gonna care
|
|
So fair the weight
|
Freshmen hold on
|
It's only four years long
|
Then it's gone
|
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
|
Look at them now
|
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
|
So be cool, be hot, be weird
|
It's just four years
|
|
Next time you're walking through your school
|
Take at who's surrounding you
|
Or hounding you
|
Cause it's all just castles in the sand
|
When your tassel's on the left side of your head
|
You're never going back
|
|
So hope (?)
|
It's only four years long
|
Then it's gone
|
And the king of the nerds and the queen of the prom get a job
|
What did you know?
|
He's a CEO and she answers his phone
|
So be cool, be hot, be weird
|
It's just four years
|
|
And as for your grades I know they're important
|
Everyone wants to be a wiz
|
Cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts
|
I just don't know where mine is
|
|
So fair the weight
|
Freshmen hold on cause every homecoming court moves on
|
It's only four years long
|
Then it's gone
|
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
|
Look at them now
|
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
|
So be cool, be hot, be weird oh
|
So be hot, be wild, you're here oh
|
Be cool, be hot, be weird
|
It's just four years
|
