  school daze
  
  my eyes are burning, bells are ringing in my ears
  alarm clocks wailing, class bells screaming, i can't hear
  a text book mad-house, twelve years
  i'm here in a rage
  a juveniles jail
  and i'm here locked up in their cage
  
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, my age is my crime
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, i'm attending hell high
  
  a blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
  a homework hell-house screams at me
  make the grade
  tick tock, three o'clock, i'm sittin here and counting off the days
  a firebell is ringin' hell and i'd sure love to see it blaze
  burn it down
  
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, my age is my crime
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, i'm attending hell high
  
  i pledge no allegiance and i bet
  they're gonna drive me crazy yet
  nobody here is understanding me
  i pledge no allegiance and i bet
  they're gonna drive me crazy yet
  i'm dying here and trying to get free
  
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, my age is my crime
  school daze, school daze, i'm here doin' time
  school daze, school daze, i'm attending hell high
