thats the bell and im gonna be late

holier than thou
holier than thou
holier than thou
thirteen
? says i gotta calm down
and learn to look the other way
he says im lost but im gonna be found, he said
holier than thou
holier than thou
holier than thou
thirteen
? and i dont relate
remember when i was a baby
and i was happy just to breathe, i was
holier than thou
holier than thou
holier than thou
