its a school night your smoking and looking rough
in 10 years time you say that you grew up tough
reading novels watching movies and speaking french
with your initials carved on an old park bench
when i go alone it goes all wrong
when i go alone it goes all wrong

it doesnt matter what they're thinking
its what they say
keep on top of your homework and you'll do okay

i really dont care if you stepped out into the street
your parents wont care if your bedroom is always neat
your folders and pencils are just wasting time
til the grocer store opens and my neighbors all wait in line

it doesnt matter what they're thinking
its what they say
keep on top of your homework and you'll do okay

I'm never gonna leave my street
I'm never gonna leave my street
I'm never gonna leave my street
I'm never gonna leave...
