lyrics

I shoulda been high in High School
I was wild then, yeah childish, and my old friends had that fight too
While teachers said the future was up to us
I wish it didn't take so long to see straight through how stupid that was
I wish it didn't take so long to see just how much money talks

Those years are gone, how much to go before we all grow old?
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are
Were we all wrong; is life a joke? I honestly don't know anymore
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are

I shoulda had good grades in high school
But I was lazy and uninterested in the things they said in lectures
Can't even remember the names of most of my teachers and my fellow students from back then
And I bet they'd say they can't remember my face

Those years are gone, how much to go before we all grow old?
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are
Were we all wrong; is life a joke? I honestly don't know anymore
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are

But hey, we made it through school never concentrating or doing our homework
We were true blue millennials and graduated using Google

Those years are gone, how much to go before we all grow old?
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are
Were we all wrong; is life a joke? I honestly don't know anymore
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are

Those years are gone, how much to go before we all grow old?
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are
Were we all wrong; is life a joke? I honestly don't know anymore
You promised me we'd change the world, and here we are
