Four years, you think for sure
That's all you've have to endure
All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks
So superficial, so immature
And then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!"
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over, oh, that's just great
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends
High school never ends
Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
And how did Mary-Kate lose all that weight?
And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixty or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen
Bill Gates, captain of the chess team
Jack Black, a clown, Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before, I want my money back!
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's in the club and who's on the drugs
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
High school never ends
And here we go again
That's all you've have to endure
All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks
So superficial, so immature
And then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!"
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over, oh, that's just great
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends
High school never ends
Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
And how did Mary-Kate lose all that weight?
And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixty or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen
Bill Gates, captain of the chess team
Jack Black, a clown, Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before, I want my money back!
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's in the club and who's on the drugs

And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
The whole damned world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex

Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
High school never ends
And here we go again

you would be one of the people that no one thats perfact will wana be with...your going to divorce someone.
btw... singing music is not an important life styile
joining army or being a teacher
the list goes on and on but singing no
"ya dumb fuck its bvecause your popular...ur probabily just as bad as miley cirus, laddy gaga, or any of those useless people that sing there gay ass meaningless songs."
Okay, I highly doubt that ilovegingerboys is a "dumb fuck". And maybe she is popular, but that is acceptable. And to compare someone to Miley Cyrus or Lady Gaga is highly inappropriate. I would find it offensive to be compared to people such as them, hence I wouldn't compare anyone else to them. And just because their songs have no meaning to you doesn't mean they have no meaning to them. May I remind you of one of Miley's earlier songs "Miss You" (or something like that) which was written about a close relative who passed away. Do you think that is gay and meaningless?
"you would be one of the people that no one thats perfact will wana be with...your going to divorce someone."
Can you be any more stereotypical? Just because she enjoys being popular and having friends doesn't mean that after high school she's going to divorce someone. And the whole "no one thats perfact will wana be with" thing is rather absurd considering that no one is perfect. Obviously you aren't. Look at your grammar skills.
**I'm not saying that my grammar are perfect, because I know for a fact that they aren't, but at least I can write a coherant paragraph that expresses a topic along with details without the aide of profain language to prove a point.
"or be divorced...sorry im being harsh but unless Most of america changes...every body will be a bunch of dipshits looking for popularity doing nothing important with their life..."
Apologizing doesn't take back what you said. So don't bother. And categorizing America as the only country that is "looking for popularity" is rather redundant. Considering that a lot of the "popular" Americans are supporting a good cause, I don't think that popularity is a bad thing. Further more "doing nothing important with their life..." is a VERY sheltered opinion. You could have been doing so much more with your life than writing those two offensive comments, such as volunteering at your local animal shelter, petitioning for more recycling centers in your local town, or just being a friend to someone who needs a friend.
"btw... singing music is not an important life styile
joining army or being a teacher

So you're saying that you hate music in general. You're saying that you'd rather be stuck in a classroom of 30 kids who are all disobeying and disrespecting you than on stage expressing yourself in a way many people can relate to. Singing is an indirect way to save a life. I always swore I'd never tell this to anyone, but music has stopped me from killing myself. Whenever that pill bottle or knife looks tempting, I just listen to Close My Eyes Forever and I realize that killing myself isn't worth it. Also, there are many songs out there that are written about things that have happened and feelings that people wish to convey.
Some examples are:
Close My Eyes Forever - Lita Ford feat. Ozzy Osbourne (It's about wondering what would happen if you committed suicide, would it all be the same?)
Livin' On The Edge - Aerosmith (Written about the LA Riots. It's also saying that no matter how screwed up the world gets, we'd rather live with it than change it.)
Janie's Got A Gun - Aerosmith (A song about a girl who was molested by her father, and she kills him out of revenge)
My Michelle - Guns N Roses (About a girl [Michelle] who was on the right track until her mother died of a heroine overdose, now her father no longer cares and lets her do as she pleases. She gets addicted to many drugs and parties and drops out of school and pretty much screws her life up)
Let It Be- The Beatles (It's about learning to cope with loss. It was written around the time The Beatles were breaking up, so I can imagine that Paul McCartney was rather distressed at the time.)
You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones (I think the title explains it.)
When Love And Hate Collide - Def Leppard (It's about a couple who aren't seeing eye to eye. They have fought, even spilt up. His brain is telling him that he hates her yet his heart begs to differ. This also has one of the most powerful lines ever penned: "Divided we stand, baby, united we fall.")
Angel - Aerosmith (This song is about a woman who is like a saviour, taking the pain away. She's literally his angel.)
Mama, I'm Coming Home - Ozzy Osbourne (To Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife. They used to fight, [At one point, he nearly killed her] but this song shows that he still loves her and can't wait to come home to her)
Beth - Kiss (This is a very emotional song written to Peter Criss's wife about touring and how he was never home to see her. This is what led up to him leaving the band.)
Every Rose Has It's Thorn - Poison (A guy [Bret Micheals] finds out his girlfriend is cheating on him and realizes that "Every rose has it's thorn. Just like every night has it dawn. Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.")
Highway to Hell - AC/DC (Not all songs that convey emotions needs to be sad, this is about a city that was giving them all kinds of crap while they were touring. One of the band members compared the drive to the shows to a "Highway to Hell".)
Now that I'm done with billhawks, I shall move on to ilovegingerboys.
Popularity is somewhat overrated, if you're a tad antisocial like myself. (Antisocial means not being able to conform to the rule of society and not being able to act normally amongst your peers.) But if you're the kind of person that thrives in a social environment, then you would most likely think that being popular is good. No where in your comment did you say that you were a snob, a prep, or a whore, so I am not finding any reason for billhawks's alarm. Some of the people I hang out with are considered popular because they have a lot of friends. They have many friends because of their personalities, not because of the stereotypical "how to be popular" lists saying that the clothing in your closet needs to cost more than your house, you need to throw tantrums when "Daddy won't pay for my eighteenth car. He says I need to get a job!!!", or when "That loser dumped me for HER?!".
But, that was just my opinion on those three comments. In other news, the video for this song is absolutely hilarious. It shows that revenge is sweet, and I can see myself seeking revenge like that at my high school reunions. >:D
So, what you really learn in high school isn't maths, english and physics but rather how shallow and pathetic society really is.
