Shortstraw - High School Lyrics

Yeah, this goes out to Ms. Maxwell, Eastside Highschool

So you walking to school and you think you look all cool
You got your books in your backpack and you got that single strap on it
Who are these people, why are they staring
They all rocking double straps and they look amazing

So why, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job
So why, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job

(Class of two thousand and three)

(Stand up with the teacher at the front row)
(Good morning Ms.)

So you walk into the classroom and your teacher sits there
She sends you to the back and tells you to look forward, yeah
Then its all come up to the blackboard and do this equation
What's the matter with you woman do I look Asian

So why, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job
So why, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job

(Stop running in the corridor)
(That was not an indication to talk)

And who are you asking now
And who, the person next to me
And who are you looking at
And who, shit, you're looking at me

So why, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job
Alive , I'm alive, I'm alive
Yeah, but you shouldn't quit your day job

(Class of two thousand and two)
(I failed matric science, my favorite)
(Why don't you be more like Michael)
(Michael gets A's)
(Shut up, bro)
