May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the high school students please wake up?
I repeat, will the high school students please wake up?
We're gonna have a problem here
Y'all act like you've never seen an alarm clock before.
Press "snooze" in a snore, go back to sleep and it rings more, louder than before.
It's six-o-four you kick the clock on the floor, over the furniture.
It's the return of the "Oh no, no way, its not another day of school, is it?"
And your mom said, "Get out of bed you stupid fool!"
only messed up kids like school chicka-chicka
Teachers I'm sick of them walking around like they know everything but
they're really kinda boring though
Yeah, I don't put all my brains to good use
But hey, no kid I know really likes watching the news
What we watch on T.V. shouldn't we get to choose?
It's not like it affects us which candidates win or lose.
And Math is on my nerves. Math is on my nerves.
I really wish the teacher didn't grade on a curve.
But there is a message that we deliver to little kids.
If you're stupid you can at least work at Burger King.
Of course they're gonna fail, of course they do.
You make them take a test on the day a big paper is due, too.
We ain't nothing but adolescence, and we don't have enough sense
To wake up at the crack of dawn just for perfect attendance.
And if we have to wake up at five thirty, ready to start learning
You better stop expecting us to be earning "A's" in our life journey.
And if you feel like I feel about the wake up time,
Forget it, get a hold of your life, and go to school, that's right.

CHORUS- Cause I'm a high school student
Yes a high school student
All you other high school students are just plain stupid
So will all the high school students please wake up, please wake up.
Cause I'm a high school student
Yes a high school student
All you other high school students are just plain stupid
So will all the high school students please wake up, please wake up.

Some people don't have to study to do well on tests.
Well I do, cause I'm forced to by my parents.
You really think I'll do well in chemistry?
And with all these teachers trying to get the better of me
"But class what if you pass wouldn't it be weird?"
Why so you guys can try to get me here
So you can sit me here where a cheater is near.
That kid over there better switch me chairs
So I can talk to my bff after the test
And we can argue over who's answer for question five was best.
The teacher put me on blast at quarter to three.
I have no idea if its choice a, b, or c.
I should download my report of the web on my p.c.
And show the whole world how easy it can be accessed by a kid like me.
I'm at school by seven -fourteen when all they do is bore me
I can't stand one more year let alone four -- please!
And there's a million students just like me
Who make a fuss like me
And don't want to get up at five - thirty
But it just might be the next best thing
We'll have to see.

CHORUS

I can't stand the lectures we must listen to
Cause they tell us stuff we could only use in the class room.
The only difference is they make it seem even more boring than it can be
They don't realize we need something entertaining.
They just stand in the room and tear it
And whether you'd like to hear it
Go on and on about Yemen and the countries near it.
And you wonder how kids can get smart when life is so hard
And it's funny, cause at the rate I'm going when I'm eighteen
I'll be one of the many going off to the college scene.
And we need it because twenty years of high school (ahhh!) doesn't beat it.
And every single person is off at school learning
And they could be working on that paper hard, getting far
Or in the living room watching tiny toons
Screaming "I hate School!"
So will the smart high school student please wake up
Yawn, stretch your hands and say "'sup!"
And be proud to be out of your bed, with brains in your head
And one more time lets get ahead.

CHORUS
