School Of Rock
Various Artists Lyrics

Baby we was making straight A's,
We were getting excellent grades and performing well in school.

But we was stuck in the dumb days,
Despite our academic achievements, we felt stuck in a monotonous routine.

Don't take much to memorize your life,
Living life can be repetitive and easy to remember.

I feel like I've been hypnotisized,
I feel like I've been under a spell or in a trance-like state.

And then that magic man he come to town,
Someone who seemed magical or extraordinary arrived in town.

Whoo wee,
An expression of excitement and amazement.

He done spun my head around,
He changed my world and perspective.

Said recess is in session,
Indicating that it's time to take a break or change the usual routine.

Two and two make five,
Emphasizing a non-traditional, outside-the-box way of thinking.

And now baby,
Addressing someone affectionately.

I'm alive,
Feeling truly alive and present.

Oh yeah,
An expression of excitement, agreement or confirmation.

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet,
If you want to be the favorite or most respected student.

Well baby you just better forget,
It's not going to be easy to achieve that status.

Rock got no reason,
Indicating that rock music is not logical or predictable.

Rock got no rhyme,
Rock music does not follow traditional patterns or structures.

You better get me to school on time.
Emphasizing the importance of being punctual and attending school.

Oh you know I was on the honor role,
I received recognition for my academic achievements.

Got good grades,
My grades were high and admirable.

And got no soul,
Despite my academic success, I was not fulfilled in other aspects of life.

Raise my hand before I can speak my mind,
Expressing a tendency to seek permission or approval before speaking up.

I've been biting my tongue too many times,
I have held back my true thoughts or feelings too often.

And then that magic man said to obey,
Someone of authority or influence told me to follow their lead.

(Uh huh)
An exclamation or affirmation of agreement.

Do what magic man do,
Emulating the actions or behavior of someone considered special or extraordinary.

Not what magic man say,
Focusing more on someone's actions than their words.

Now could I please have the attention of the class,
Asking for the focus and attention of everyone present.

Today's assignment,
The task or objective for the day.

KICK SOME ASS!
An urging to perform extraordinarily or exceptionally well.

This is my final exam,
Referring to this moment as a final test or challenge.

Now ya'll know who I am,
Asserting one's identity and presence.

I might not be that perfect son,
I may not be ideal or without flaws.

But ya'll be rockin' when I'm done.
Everyone will be having a good time or enjoying themselves when I finish.
