Too Cool for School Lyrics

everybody tries to make you understand
everybody tries to make your life like hell
even though you exist you're not strong enough
the voice inside your head tells you that you're a bluff
crossing the school-yard with your head down low
for them time moves too fast and for you too slow
it all seems so unreal, your stomach aches
locker rooms, hallways, endless lunch-breaks
it's just a matter of time until you'll get your revenge on them
you are seventeen and your life will tell you when
and the future will tell you how
the future will tell you how
everybody tries to make you make you understand
everybody tries to make your life like hell
skipping gym-class, skipping the whole day
tired of minding every word you say

it's just a matter of time until you'll get your revenge on them
you are seventeen and your life will tell you when
and the future will tell you how
the future will tell you how

everybody tries to make you make you understand
everybody tries to make your life like hell
it's just a matter of time until you'll get your revenge on them
you are seventeen and your life will tell you when
just hang around, make some songs, record a tape instead
stay proud because some day they will understand
the future shows no remorse
some day you will get yours...
