Higher Education lyrics

Politics social-popularity dirty-tricks status-quo and Em TV What is hip? Fashion tips and football teams it makes me sick The last pick Contracted a social disease Latest trends Rumors in their hierarchies What is hip? Student prez and the drag queen Highschool tried to ruin me I'm not sure but nothing that I learned was from textbooks or teachers or math class 101 I'm pretty sure that everything I learned was from the so-called pretty girls, the jock straps, the cafeteria at lunch I sat alone, I had one friend, I disassociated myself from their bull-shit and waited till the end 'Cause highschool tried to ruin me but somehow I made in through each day A bloody nose A swollen lip, but somehow... I got away Hit me one more time, tough guy! 'Cause highschool tried to ruin me... BUT I know for sure that their was one teacher who told me to make sure that I followed my dreams (thanks Mr.Clements, you were a ray of hope in a school of darkness)
