| Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another
|
| Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' roll
|
| Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother
|
| Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' 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 stratin' 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, me, me REPEAT CHORUS
|
| 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 one
|
| who’s 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
