High School Rock Out
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.
Let's go to class to kick your ass,
You're not to sure if you can last
without going back to work
But it's alright because you'll be trying not to die
and you'll be trying not to lie
'cause you'll be sitting next to her.
Well, baby, I don't mind.
Because you thought your name was called from
half way down the hall from the dude with a basketball in his hand.
And you think he might be waiting
but behind him is your raven singing
"Nevermore" I'm laying (?) him down.
Well baby, I don't mind
'cause it's not hard to be spending my time
with someone who will let me go,
don't care no more.
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll...
It's a high school rock out,
it's a fucking knock out here,
and nobody cares.
So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
really cares.
Well, it's prom night again,
be polite to my friends
'cause we like to pretend
that we're cool and that's just fine.
We like the music 'cause the rock and roll enthusiasts
and bands are having a hell of a time.
And it makes me go crazy,
out of my mind.
Just what am I doing here, wasting my time
with someone who will let me go,
don't care no more?
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll, oh baby...
It's a high school rock out,
it's a fucking knock out here,
and nobody cares.
So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
really cares.
Well, the song is sung and all is done and everyone is having fun
but in comes Mr.Sad-as-can-be.
And he's got problems up the wall
but nobody cares at all
because we don't want to catch his disease.
But it's cool 'cause everybody says...
It's a high school rock out,
it's a fucking knock out here,
and nobody cares.
So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody ...
It's a high school rock out,
it's a goddamn knock out here,
and nobody cares.
So, everybody scream at the top of your lungs
'cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
really cares.
