[Verse 1]
We played it fast, we played it loud
A bit too much, a bit too proud
The only way we knew to do it right
It washed away the misery
So, do you know your history?
Or did you only show up for the fight?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, all my friends are headed to L'Amour
"You've reached L'Amour
The 'Rock Capital of Brooklyn'"
Half of them are bounced right out the door
"Tonight, Overkill at L'Amour
Sold out"
And if we had the chance to say
Not to go another way

[Chorus]
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers
And broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Hey, hey, hey!
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey!

[Verse 2]
Yeah, there's blood all over me
I caught the eye of Johnny Z
Bang your head, thrash around the pit
Now, who the fuck would've thunk
They're playin' us on Eddie Trunk?
Catch some air, dive; who gives a shit?

[Pre-Chorus]
And all my friends are headed to the Ritz
"Hey, it's Eddie Trunk
With a great new band out of Jersey: Overkill
Bobby G., Rat Skates, D.D. and 'Blitz'
Here's 'Rotten to the Core'
From their debut Feel the Fire"
And if we get the chance to play
No, we'll never go away

[Chorus]
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers
And broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers
And broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck

Here's to the old school
Didn't matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers
And broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain
We stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck
Hey, hey, hey!
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
