Lyrics:

George:
WE WEREN'T COOL BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
BUT WE PARTIED TOO AND IT'S TIME YOU KNEW
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR

YEAH, WE WEREN’T COOL BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
BUT WE PARTIED TOO AND IT’S TIME YOU KNEW
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR

CHECK THE MORNING NEWS TEAM
WITH THEIR SASSY MUTTON CHOPS
THEY REPORTED ON A LOCAL EMBEZZLEMENT SCANDAL
TILL THE PRINCIPAL MADE THEM STOP

News Kids:
HARDCORE!

George:
YEAH, THEY WEREN’T COOL BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
BUT THEY PARTIED TOO AND IT’S TIME YOU KNEW

News Kids:
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR

George:
NOT ALL KIDS ARE ATHLETES
SOME KIDS JOIN BAND INSTEAD
WHILE YOU PLAYED ALL THOSE GENDERED SPORTS,
THEY ALL GOT VERY CO-ED

SPORTS ARE OVERRATED
THEY LEAVE YOU RED IN THE FACE
WHILE YOU WERE SLIDING INTO FIRST
THE BAND KIDS ROUNDED THIRD BASE

Bass!

George, News Kids, & Band Kids:
WE WEREN’T COOL BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
BUT WE PARTIED TOO AND IT’S TIME YOU KNEW
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
WHAT YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR

George:
RIGHT OVER HERE ARE THE ARTY GOTHS
A REAL TIGHT-KNIT PACK
WHILE YOU WERE WEARING TANK TOPS

Goths:
WE WERE WEARING BLACK

George:
WHILE YOU WERE WEARING CARGO SHORTS

Goths:
WE WERE WEARING BLACK

George:
WHILE YOU WERE WEARING FLIP FLOPS

Goths:
WE WERE WEARING BLACK FLIP FLOPS

George:
THE BIGGEST THING YOU MISSED
WHILE YOU WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME
IS EXPERIENCING SHAME, MISERY AND DEPRESSION
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

NOW YOU MIGHT FIND IT HARD
THAT ADULTHOOD GETS SO REAL
WHILE THE NERDY KIDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL ARE LIKE,
I GOT THIS, NO BIG DEAL!

Jock:
Actually, my parents got divorced when I was 14 and it really destroyed me. I just acted super confident to cover the unbearable flood of emotions I wasn’t prepared to handle. I’m sorry I made fun of your ska band.

George:
Thank you so much, Zack!

George:
NO ONE’S SAYING YOU WEREN’T FLY
BUT DID POETRY NIGHT MAKE YOU CRY?

George/News Kids/Band Kids/Goths:
WE LEARNED TO CRY WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
GREW EMOTIONALLY WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR

George:
YOU WERE COOL WHILE WE WERE NOT
BUT OUR MASSAGE CIRCLES WERE SUPER HOT

George/News Kids/Band Kids/Goths:
WE MASSAGED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
AND GOT MASSAGED WHILE YOU WERE POPULAR
