Well I don't care about history
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Cause that's not where I want to be
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
I just want to have some kicks
I just want to get some chicks
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Cruisin' around in my BTO
Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
I hate the teachers and the principal
Don't want to be taught to be no fool
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school
Fun, fun, rock 'n' roll high school

The song "Rock 'n' Roll High School" by the Ramones is a classic anthem for anyone who feels disillusioned by traditional education and just wants to have fun. The singer of the song is a student who is not interested in history or being taught to be a "fool" by the teachers and the principal. Instead, they want to cruise around in their car listening to rock music and trying to pick up girls. The repeated refrain of "rock, rock, rock 'n' roll high school" emphasizes their desire to be surrounded by music and excitement rather than academic pursuits.
The song's fast-paced, upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus make it a perfect anthem for rebellious teenagers everywhere. The lyrics speak to the universal desire to break free from authority and live life on one's own terms, even if that means not conforming to society's expectations of what a "good student" should be. The Ramones were known for their uncompromising attitude and raw energy, and "Rock 'n' Roll High School" is a prime example of their approach to music.
