Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Well i don't think i'll make it through another day
It's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's startin' to decay
And i'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great
Be the best thing i ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word exaggerate
How'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'cause hey, i gotta know
Am i slow?
Where do i go from here?
Do abc's
And 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Sing it alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead
Ain't they got nothin' between their ears
How come they don't seem to hear a single word i say?
They ain't the only ones who're bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate
'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate
That makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Will i be in pain
Or will i have a brain
Or will i go insane, i've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane
'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me
That much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
