In My High School

In my high school, we separate the rich from the rest

Those who wear rags from those who only wear the best

And in my high school, they hold assemblies for the football team

But never for the kids with different dreams

And we've got jocks and we've got smokers, rednecks and jokers

There's a category for us all

And we struggle with our homework, our teachers and their rules

Yeah, they think we're adolescent fools

In my high school, there's some who think they're tough as they can be

But when I look in their eyes, all I see is insecurity

And in my high school, there's some who'll wait

Then there's some who won't

Some that cross those lines and some that don't

We've got outcasts and we've got rebels

Mostly saints sometimes devils

You see them walkin' up and down the hall

And they struggle with their boyfriends, their girlfriends and their maths

And they long for the bell that gets them out of class

In my high school

We laugh, we cry

We fall, we fly

Sometimes we wonder why we're even here?

We pass, we fail

And only time will tell

If we'll ever make it through these teenage years

In my high school, there's some who study for their entrance exams

Some who just wanna play guitar in some rock 'n roll band

And in my high school, the seniors just cannot wait for June

But they don't realize that we grow up way too soon

They'll be doctors, they'll be lawyers, teachers and warriors

And they'll live out their dreams, big and small

And they'll struggle with their jobs, with their husbands and their wives

And they'll talk about, the best days of their lives

In my high school

In my high school

In my high school

In my high school
