Every eighth grader won’t say something
We were dumb and deaf and blind
They had the dumbest things painted on the walls

I did my math in rain, I really
Please excuse my demons, sadly
I know pi to four or five digits
3.14159

English gave me my first D
I pray for all Ptolemy
Written across the top
Cliché

For laughing
And this is no laughing matter
And again, for goofing off with John

Jingly jangly guitars?
1980’s era R.E.M

And crying on the blacktop
And crying in the special room
And quitting the band
I got hit by the water bottle
From I.U., I got hit with the
Basketball, thank God
Why, I’m done with gym!

I played trombone in jazz band
I improvised a Louie Louie solo
But he gave the award
To someone else

We never had that pizza party
Never played the guitar
Teacher was a dirty
Dirty dirty liar

Well, whatever happened to
Jingly jangly guitars?
1980’s era R.E.M
All is well that ends well
There’s much more left to spend
But I found myself forgetting that, I…
Don’t look at the pictures
(Don’t look at the pictures)
The pictures’ always lyin’
I never had long hair
They locate sensi
(They locate sensi)
They’ll never hold
(They’ll never hold alone)
Windows there

Ohhhhh
OHHHHHH
Lalalalalalala
