High School Never Ends
Bowling for Soup Lyrics

Four years, you think for sure That's all you've got to endure All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks So superficial, so immature
After four years of high school, you think you'll finally be done with all the annoying and immature people, but unfortunately that's not the case.

And then when you graduate You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!" This is the same as where I just came from I thought it was over, oh, that's just great
After graduating, you realize that the real world is just like high school - it's full of the same cliques, drama, and superficiality that you thought you left behind.

The whole damned world is just as obsessed With who's the best dressed and who's having sex Who's got the money, who gets the honeys Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
The world outside of high school is just as obsessed with superficial things like appearance, popularity, and sex.

And you still don't have the right look And you don't have the right friends Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends High school never ends
Even though you've graduated, you still feel like an outsider because you don't fit into the same mold as the popular kids. Nothing has changed except for the people and trends.

Check out the popular kids You'll never guess what Jessica did And how did Mary-Kate lose all that weight? And Katie had a baby, so I guess Tom's straight
People are still obsessed with the popular kids and what they're doing or who they're dating, even though high school is over.

And the only thing that matters Is climbing up that social ladder Still care about your hair and the car you drive Doesn't matter if you're sixteen or thirty-five
The only thing that seems to matter in the real world is social status and material possessions, regardless of age.

Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen Bill Gates, captain of the chess team Jack Black, a clown, Brad Pitt, the quarterback Seen it all before, I want my money back
The same stereotypes and social hierarchies that existed in high school still exist in the real world, and it's getting boring.

And you still listen to the same shit you did back then High school never ends
Despite everything that's changed, you still feel like the same person you were in high school and you're still clinging onto the same things, like music and memories.

And I still don't have the right look And I still have the same three friends And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then High school never ends
You might have graduated and moved on, but you still feel like you haven't really changed much, even after all these years. High school never truly ends.

And here we go again
The cycle repeats and you find yourself back in the same place, just like you did in high school.
