(Na na na na)
(Na na na na oh)
(Na na na na)
(Na na na na oh)

Hey kid, what's that look in your eye?
You graduated with no way to survive
No direction, no teacher to tell
Four years later, you still wait for the bell
(What the hell?)

And I know (I know)
You had your shot and you missed (So close)
No lecture prepares you for this (No, no)
You're getting too old to wear clothes from 1973
At the high school burnout scene

Na na na na
Na na na na oh
Na na na na
The high school burnout scene

Na na na na
Na na na na oh
Na na na na
The high school burnout scene

You were king of the hill (Of the hill)
Top of the heat
But you're not in the classroom
You're alone in the street
Your ship set sail, and it's sinking
No wonder we all started drinking

Hey kid, it's dead-end's meet
That's just enough to keep you off of the street
You're overworked and halfway to broke
Ain't no wonder you moved back with your folks

And I know (I know)
You always played by the rules
But kings'll be crowned by the fools
You're getting too old to wear clothes you bought in 2013
At the high school burnout scene

Na na na na
Na na na na oh
Na na na na
The high school burnout scene

Na na na na
Na na na na oh
Na na na na
The high school burnout scene

You were king of the hill (of the hill)
Top of the class (you got class)
You get a bad deal
And then you're back on your ass
Your ship's coming in on fire
No wonder you couldn't get hired

Cause these streets don't hold nobody's hand
You get what you take when you live off the land
The change don't come for the working man (No, ma'am)
And rich boy doesn't give a damn (Oh oh oh)
When you gonna understand
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey kid, what's that look in your eye?
Is little baby gonna break down and cry?
This ain't the end, just a hell of a ride
It's a living till you kill to survive

And I know (I know)
You always gave it your best (Your best)
But you failed your final test (God bless)
You're getting too old to wear clothes from 2017
(Oh woah)

This city's burning out from nine to five
The office conversation's gonna eat you alive
You're getting too old to be told: Always follow your dreams
At the high school burnout scene

Na na na na
Na na na na oh
Na na na na
(The high school burnout scene)

You'll call me a liar
But I know the truth
It happened to me
It could happen to you
So, pull up a chair
We're all in this mess
They said we were special
But we're just like the rest

Or maybe we're worse
We believed in a lie
You work like a dog
Till you quit or you die
At least you could say that you tried
I wish I could say that I tried (Ay ay ay)

(Na na na na)
(Na na na na oh)
(Na na na na)
(The high school burnout scene)

(Na na na na)
(Na na na na oh)
(Na na na na)

The high school burnout
The washed-up turnout
The dead man walking with his head hung low down
It's the high school burnout scene
