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
