School Of Rock
Black Jack Lyrics

Baby we was makin' straight A's.
We were achieving perfect results all across the board in our schoolwork.

But we was stuck in the dumb days.
Despite our successes in academics, we felt trapped in the mundanity of our education.

Don't take much to memorize your lies.
It's easy for us to detect deceitful behavior and see through falsehoods.

Feel like I been hypnotized.
We feel a strong sense of influence and control over us, comparable to being hypnotized.

And then that magic man, he come to town
A charismatic and influential figure arrives.

Who he gone spun my head around.
He has a profound effect on our thinking and perspective.

He said "recess is in session! two and two make five!"
He encourages us to disregard traditional thinking and rules and adopt a new, unconventional approach to education and problem-solving.

And now baby, oh, I'm alive.
Our newfound perspective on life has revitalized us and brought us a sense of excitement and energy.

Aw yeah! Oh, I'm alive!
We continue to express our enthusiasm and energy for our new approach to education.

And if you want to be the teacher's pet,
If you desire to be favored by authority figures in your education...

Baby, you better just forget it.
You should abandon that desire if you want to succeed in rock and roll, as it does not lead to success or fulfillment.

Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme.
The world of rock and roll is chaotic, unconventional, and does not conform to traditional structures or rules.

You better get me to school on time.
Despite our newfound approach to education, we still prioritize punctuality and responsibility in our academic life.

Oh, you know I was on the honor roll,
We were not only achieving perfect grades, but also earning other acknowledgments and awards for our academic accomplishments.

Got good grades, ain't got no soul!
Our academic success has not brought us any sense of fulfillment or purpose.

Raise my hand before I could speak my mind.
Our desire to follow rules and authority figures often silenced our true thoughts and opinions.

I been bitin' my tongue too many times.
We have held back many of our true thoughts and feelings throughout our academic career.

And then that magic man said to obey! (Uh huh)
Our new influence encourages us to follow our own path and not succumb to authority figures or traditional thought patterns.

Do what magic man do, not what magic man say.
We should follow the example set by our new influence rather than adhere to their words and directions.

Now can I please have the attention of the class, today's assignment,
We demand the attention of our peers and make clear that today's task is significant and important.

Kick some ass!
We encourage our peers to break free from traditional thought patterns and achieve greatness in their own ways.

This is my final exam.
We have reached a pivotal moment in our academic and personal lives.

Now y'all know who I am.
We have established our true identity and have made clear that we are unconventional and individualistic thinkers.

I may not be that perfect son,
We acknowledge that we are not the typical student, obedient to authority figures and traditional thought patterns.

But y'all be rockin' when I'm done!
Despite our unconventional approach to education, we will inspire others to adopt our new methods and find success and fulfillment in their own unique ways.
