Lyrics
We coin a metaphor
We shift to underscore
We've lost the dinosuars and it's still a mystery
Geography is place
Geometry is space
And if we fall from grace, then we might be History
Everything I know now I learned in Junior High
Let me remind you
So glad we made it out alive
Don't look behind you
A square's a trapezoid
A loner gets destroyed
The devils you avoid are the ones that chase you
It's curtains to be shy
Be certain to apply
To any tribe who looks like they might embrace you
Everything I know now I learned in Junior High
Let me remind you
So glad we made it out alive
Don't look behind you
Carved my initials in these walls
Still feel the loneliness that echoed down these halls
Day after day .......
We sail a darkling sea
Annoy authority
There's ecstacy and anarchy in the courtyard
The world is on our case
And half of what we face
Will never leave a trace on the old report card
Everything I know now I learned in Junior High
Let me reming you
So glad we made it out alive
Don't look behind you
How 'bout those days in Junior High?
Let me remind you
So glad we made it out alive
Don't look behind you
Don't look behind you
Don't look behind you ......
