High School Massacre
S.p.i.t. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you hear that Mikey kissed a girl?
Could it be your girlfriend
Or some other stupid ho?
Did you hear that Timmy shaved his hair

How much do you bet Jane's not wearing underwear?
Her IQ is smaller that her skirt
She pretends she wants it
But she is just a flirt

Joey slept with Susan and now they're going out
Get ready cause
This is high school

Passing notes about what happened Saturday night
Is it possible that there could be a fight
Meet at the oak tree approximately 3 p.m.
I will beat your ass
Cause now you're in high school
Now you're in high school

Oh how we love these high school days
Don't want to leave wish we could stay
I'll really miss those cheerleaders
They are the highlight of my year

Did you hear about how Mr. Halls
Turns his back to the class
So he can scratch his balls
Susan's dumping Joey

She says he sucks in bed




But not as good as she does
This is high school
