Sydney Forest – High School Highway lyrics

Welcome to another year
Of torture and despair
Where your fate will be determined
By the outfit that you wear
Or the colour of your hair
Or the place you put your chair
Oh god is so unfair

To bend and not to break
Chin up, try not to quake
I'm grinning on the outside
But I'm a wreck internally
You're too scared to speak
You're full of sorrows
Driving down this high school highway
I'm a dead teen walking
Dead teen walking
Dead teen walking
Ooo la la la la

The tale of two begins with a girl
(Sour 16) Sour 16, name's Sam
Her life's in a whirl
With freckles on her nose and a longing in her heart
Pretending not to care is a science

To bend and not to break
Chin up, try not to quake
I'm grinning on the outside
But I'm a wreck internally
You're too scared to speak
You're full of sorrows
Driving down this high school highway
I'm a dead teen walking
Dead teen walking
Dead teen walking
Ooo la la la la
Ooo la la la la
