When I first heard this song, I loved it! I was reminded of it today as I was waiting at the pharmacy for a pain patch for Dolores. On the table were three magazines. All of them were the entertainment gossip magazines, not a Readers' Digest, Good Housekeeping or Time, so this song popped into my head and I have been humming it all evening.
This song has a strange way of putting my priorities in order.
by Bowling for Soup
Four years you think for sure
ThatÂ’s all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw thatÂ’s just great
The whole d*** world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having s**,
Who‘s got the money, who gets the hunnie's,
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And you still donÂ’t have the right look
And you donÂ’t have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends
Check out the popular kids
YouÂ’ll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess TomÂ’s straight
And the only thing that matters
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
DoesnÂ’t matter if youÂ’re sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon,
SheÂ’s the prom queen
Bill Gates,
Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
Seen it all before
I want my money back
The whole d*** world is just as obsessed
With whoÂ’s the best dressed and whoÂ’s having s**,
WhoÂ’s in the clubs and whoÂ’s on the drugs,
WhoÂ’s throwing up before they digest
And you still donÂ’t have the right look
And you donÂ’t have the right friends
And you still listen to the same s*** you did back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
The whole d*** world is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who‘s having s**,
Who‘s got the money, who gets the hotties,
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
And I still donÂ’t have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And IÂ’m pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
High school never ends
Here we go again

I haven't heard that song but it's oh so true....well done connecting it to the gossip magazines...very insightful. :)
Bowling for Soup is fun, I'm sure you've heard their song 1985 right? It was going through my head earlier today. -Brian
