Stick to the Status Quo

You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control
Everybody gather around

"If Troy can tell his secret then I can tell mine"
"I bake..."
"What?"

"I love to bake, strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy"

Not another sound

"Someday, I hope to make the perfect crème brulee"

No, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

Look at me
And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occurring
It's a secret I need to share

Open up, dig way down deep

"Hip-hop is my passion"
"I love to pop, and lock, and jam, and break"

"Is that even legal?"

Not another peep

"It's just dancing"
"Sometimes, I think it's even cooler than homework"

No, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It's better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

Listen well, I'm ready to tell, about a need that I cannot deny
Dude there's no explanation for this awesome sensation
But I'm ready to let it fly

Speak your mind and you'll be heard

"Alright if Troy wants to be a singer then I coming clean"

"I play the cello"

"Awesome"
"What is it?"
"A saw"

"No dude, it's like a giant violin"

Not another word

"Do you have to wear a costume?"

"Coat and tie"

No, no, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't' mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo, oh

No, no, no
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It it's better by far
To keep things are they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

This is not what I want
This is not what I planned
And I just got to say
I do not understand

Something is really
Something's not right
Really wrong
And we gotta get things
Back where they belong

We can do it
Gotta play
Stick with what you know

We can do it
Hip-hop hooray
She has got to go

We can do it
Crème Brulee
Keep your voice down low

Not another peep
No
Not another word
No
Not another sound
No
Everybody quiet

"Why is everybody staring at you?"
"Not me, you"
"Because of the call backs?"
"I can't have people staring at me, I really can't"

No, no, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It it's better by far
To keep things are they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status
Stick to the status
Stick to the status quo
