The Highschool Song

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Cliques who never picked up a book

were telling you how to act and how to look

I used to call them the " Cookie Cutter Crowd"

You weren't cool if you got good grades

or didn't drink, or smoke, or get laid

but if you did you could go to their parties at the landfill!

Now, the major cliques were the "skaters" and the "rebels"

who were all the same except the rebels wore leather

and the skaters had the "skateboarding's not a crime" bumperstickers

But they all went to all the same parties...

and I'm sure now they all work at Hardees

still arguing over whether or not Ozzy is cool

This was my Highschool - yeah yeah

This was my Highschool - yeah, yeah

Eighty dollars was taken from my purse

during gym class one day, and to make matters worse

the exact same thing happened the day before

I had a feeling I knew who to blame

I never confronted her though, and it's such a shame

after all, she was soon to be somebody's mommy

A friend of mine had his leather jacket stolen

right out of his locker one monday morning...

and he too thought he knew who'd done it

later that week his suspicions were confirmed

when to him the alleged theif turned

and said, "Hey man, do you wanna buy a leather jacket?"

Chorus

I hated Highschool...

The spanish teacher would hit on me

and try to teach me "biology"

between classes she always smelled like pot.

(Regarding the come-on) "Uh...no thanks," I said,

"but, the gym coach might be interested

she's always trying to get me on her 'team'"

Now, certain teachers of geometry

and social studies periodically

would be sighted partying with last year's grads.

But the English teacher was a proper man

who later changed - so I understand

and shacked up with the principal's son.

Chorus

The Vice-principal approached me one day

and said, "Get rid of that headband , OK?!

We don't allow any fashion statements here!"

I was like, what do you mean? Isn't everything you wear

a fashion statement and not just your hair?

I told him I thought it was a really silly rule

But I remember later that year

wearing a dress to class on day that was sheer

with nothing underneath but a string bikini

It's funny then he didn't seem to care

and at every turn, guess who was there!

Apparently he liked what he saw.

Chorus

I hated Highschool...
