[SONG BEGINS]

I really hated high school
Man, it was such a drag
Every time I walked the halls
You know the kids would call me a fag
I didn't care for physical ed, man
I didn't care for history
I wanted to blow up my high school
And take my GED

I was a high school psychopathic
I needed therapy
I was a high school psychopathic
With an overload of energy
Go

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was a high school psychopathic now
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Psychopathic, go

Go

There was a teenage wasteland in my brain
From staying after school
I didn't wanna pledge allegiance, man
Because I thought it was so uncool
Now each and everybody 'bout hated me
They thought I was such a jerk
With my leather jacket, my ripped blue jeans
And my Ramones t-shirt

I was a high school psychopathic
I needed therapy
I was a high school psychopathic
With an overload of energy
Go

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was a high school psychopathic now
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was a high school na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I was a high school [?]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Psychopathic, go

Stop
