[GEORGE]

We weren't cool

Back in high school

But we partied too

And its 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]

Hard core!

[GEORGE]

Yeah, we werent cool

Back in high school

But we partied too

And it's time you knew

[GEORGE AND NEWS KIDS]

What you missed while you were popular

What you missed while you were popular

[GEORGE]

Not all kids are athletes, some 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, AND 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

[GOTH KIDS]

We were wearing black

[GEORGE]

While you were wearing cargo shorts

[GOTH KIDS]

We were wearing black

[GEORGE]

While you were wearing flip flops

[GOTH KIDS]

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!"

(Spoken)

[ZACK]

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

(Outro)

[GEORGE]

No one's saying you weren't fly

But did poetry night make you cry?

[ALL]

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

[ALL]

We massaged while you were popular

And got massaged while you were popular
