Friends Forever

Old 97's
I was a debater
Was not a stoner nor an inline skater
Was not a player nor a player hater
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
Whoâ"š¬â"ž¢s to say thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong
I was in the chess club
Didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t have a swimming pool much less a true love
Didnâ"š¬â"ž¢t have a dalliance much less a hot tub
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
Whoâ"š¬â"ž¢s to say thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong
The twelve years after five
Are years weâ"š¬â"ž¢re lucky to survive
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Went out for the football team
Found out the hard way that you canâ"š¬â"ž¢t live your Dadâ"š¬â"ž¢s dream
Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine
Then I found a guitar and the restâ"š¬â"ž¢s a fanzine
Whoâ"š¬â"ž¢s to say thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s wrong
The moral of the song
Is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along
Come graduation day youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll be gone
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
