Stick to the Status Quo
High School Musical: The Musical: The Series Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stick to the stuff you know (stick to the stuff you know)
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, oh no
Stick to the status quo
Oh, no, no, no
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Don't you stick to the status quo
Everybody quiet
This is not what I want
This is not what I planned
And I just gotta say
I do not understand
Something is really
Something's not right
Really wrong
And we gotta get things back where they belong
Not another peep (no)
Not another word (no)
Not another sound (no)
No, no, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know (stick to the stuff you know)
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Don't you stick to the status
Don't you stick to the status
Don't you stick to the status quo
Stick to the Status Quo is a song from the popular Disney Channel movie, High School Musical. The song signifies the idea that high school students should stick to their stereotypical roles and interests, rather than taking risks and breaking free from societal expectations. The opening lyrics, "Stick to the stuff you know, if you wanna be cool, follow one simple rule, don't mess with the flow", showcases the pressure teenagers face to conform to peer pressure and social norms. The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of maintaining the status quo to keep everything in order, leading to the phrase "Stick to the status quo." The lyrics communicate the message that stepping out of the box can be intimidating and disrupt the balance, leading to fear and backlash from within and outside the circle.
