The Old School
Children, hello, it's good to be back
It's too long I've been away
Let's learn a new song, the substitute's gone
And everything is okay
Hey Kindergarten, let's tune up our stuff and play
Let's overpower the noise that we hear today
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
Old Missus Crow, she did not know
How hard I could really fight
I bet she forgot that what you've been taught
Is every note comes from light
Hey every student, let's open our hearts and sing
Let's show the world that they should have been listening
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
And beautiful is the sound
You begged for the bell while she screamed and yelled
The playground was weeds and rust
So let's start anew, her versions of you
We'll bury them in the dust
Lick your fingers, kids, it's time to turn the page
It's not just the end of a passage, it's the end of an age
All of you tried to tell her she lied
When she said that grunge was cool
Then that dirty bitch, she grabbed up a switch
Now let's show her who's the fool
So strike up a tune and whisper the words
And make it a major chord
Hey girls and boys, make a joyful noise
And make it unto the Lord
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
Forever is the sound
Forever is the sound
Forever is the sound
It's too long I've been away
Let's learn a new song, the substitute's gone
And everything is okay
Hey Kindergarten, let's tune up our stuff and play
Let's overpower the noise that we hear today
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
Old Missus Crow, she did not know
How hard I could really fight
I bet she forgot that what you've been taught
Is every note comes from light
Hey every student, let's open our hearts and sing
Let's show the world that they should have been listening
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
And beautiful is the sound
You begged for the bell while she screamed and yelled
The playground was weeds and rust
So let's start anew, her versions of you
We'll bury them in the dust
Lick your fingers, kids, it's time to turn the page
It's not just the end of a passage, it's the end of an age
All of you tried to tell her she lied
When she said that grunge was cool
Then that dirty bitch, she grabbed up a switch
Now let's show her who's the fool
So strike up a tune and whisper the words
And make it a major chord
Hey girls and boys, make a joyful noise
And make it unto the Lord
Here lies the end of the music of anger and hate
This is the Old School and we'll never graduate
Forever is the sound
Forever is the sound
Forever is the sound
