Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Four years, you think for sure That's all you've have to endure All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks So superficial, so immature And then when you graduate You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!" This is the same as where I just came from I thought it was over, oh, that's just great The whole damned world is just as obsessed With who's the best dressed and who's having sex Who's got the money, who gets the honeys Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess And you still don't have the right look And you don't have the right friends Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends High school never ends Check out the popular kids You'll never guess what Jessica did And how did Mary-Kate lose all that weight? And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight And the only thing that matters Is climbing up that social ladder Still care about your hair and the car you drive Doesn't matter if you're sixty or thirty-five Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen Bill Gates, captain of the chess team Jack Black, a clown, Brad Pitt, the quarterback Seen it all before, I want my money back! The whole damned world is just as obsessed With who's the best dressed and who's having sex Who's in the club and who's on the drugs Who's throwing up before they digest And you still don't have the right look And you don't have the right friends And you still listen to the same shit you did back then High school never ends High school never ends The whole damned world is just as obsessed With who's the best dressed and who's having sex Who's got the money, who gets the honeys Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess And I still don't have the right look And I still have the same three friends And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then High school never ends High school never ends High school never ends And here we go again
