High School Kids Lyrics

We followed the rules and

Tried to get A's and B's

Just like our teachers said

We took out some loans and

Got a four-year degree

Hoping we'd get ahead

I got a job that

Barely pays me

And 100k in student debt

It's the same shit

On the daily

And I'm paying rent to my mom and dad

Fuck the system

Another victim

I just tried to live like they said to live

Throw your hands up

Here's the anthem

For all my friends that feel like

High school kids

Yeah, they build us up just to fail us

High school kids

They're pretending like they don't hear us

Tried to grow up

So how did we end up like this

Yeah we're high school kids

We're just high school kids

High school kids

I'm glad I took time to

Study for chemistry

I'm using that everyday

We were all lied to

They gave us the guarantee

That we would be rich one day

I got a job that

Barely pays me

And 100k in student debt

It's the same shit

On the daily

And I'm paying rent to my mom and dad

Fuck the system

Another victim

I just tried to live like they said to live

Throw your hands up

Here's the anthem

For all my friends that feel like

High school kids

Yeah, they build us up just to fail us

High school kids

They're pretending like they don't hear us

Tried to grow up

So how did we end up like this

Yeah we're high school kids

We're just high school kids

High school kids
