So homecoming court vote on
And the king of the prom get a job
They tore my high school to the ground
I just don't know where mine is
But in the end when all your hats are in the air
What did you know?
So be cool, be hard, be weird
When your tassel's on the left side of your head
And the king of the nerds
And the king of the prom get a job
It's only four years long, then it's gone
She's living her dreams while
And the queen of the nerds
So featherweight freshmen, hold on
It's just four years
Look at them now
It's just four years
Be happy while you're here, oh
And as for your grades, I know they're important
Change my state of mind
She's living her dreams while
You're never going back
It's only four years long, then it's gone
Take a look at who's surrounding you or hounding you
He sleeps with his crown
It's just four years, just four years
Look at them now
He sleeps with his crown
On my old parking spot
I wish that I could travel back in time
Of who you hope and you hope not to be socially
Everyone wants to be a wiz
It's only four years long, then it's gone
It stands reminding me of how
And the queen of the nerds
Next time you're walking through your school
So featherweight freshmen, hold on
It's hard to see beyond these walls
Be cool, be hard, be weird
He's a CEO and she answers his phone
Nobody's gonna care
And put a new wing in the east lot
So if you're still in your teens, listen to me
'Cause every homecoming court moves on
'Cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts
Maybe you're in or you're out
'Cause it's all just castles in the sand
So be cool, be hard, be weird, oh
And the queen of the prom get a job
So be cool, be hard, be weird
