School days, well she ain't no little kid yellin' back at mamma
Daddy knows he's got a situation
Now he sits and prays that it's just infatuation
Stuck in class, the lesson's begun
Her mind is on the night before when she had fun
She says "Hey! No way! You know what it's like to be young!"
Learning with the boys she plays a dangerous game
Shooting a line, well there ain't no shame
I say "Hey! Who the hell are you going to blame?"
Sneaking down the alley ways, running off the track
Can't play the ransom, get off my back
Hey hey, teacher! Take a hundred lines
You've been a naughty boy
Hey hey, teacher! What's that you were doing after school?!
Flashpoint Serenade, young and wild, going off the rails tonight
Flashpoint Serenade, who said youth is wasted on the young?
Blue-eyed boy thinks he's got it made
Daddy says "You've got to work, you've got to make the grades"
I say "Hey! What a price he has to pay!"
He don't give a damn, says nobody understands
Screw the homework, I've made bigger plans
I say "Hey! No way to keep his ass in line"
Don't give a damn, but you've gotta have money
This shit ain't funny, no land of milk and honey
Trapped in this red-bricked jungle, this kid's in trouble
Can't point the finger and say who's to blame
Go out with guns a-blazing, self made situation
Me and the boys have got a late night assignation
Oh yeah, gonna kick some ass
Flashpoint Serenade, Flashpoint Serenade
Flashpoint Serenade, Flashpoint Serenade
Hey hey, teacher! Take a hundred lines
You've been a naughty boy
Hey hey, teacher! What's that you were doing after school?!
Flashpoint Serenade, young and wild, going off the rails tonight
Flashpoint Serenade, who said youth is wasted on the young?
