Back To School (Live) Lyrics
Deftones
Lyrics
so run
Right
Right back to school
Check it
Look back i sift through all the cliques
Roaming' the halls all year, making me sick
While everyone's out tryin to make the cut
What
And when you think you know me right i switch it up
Behind the walls smokin' cigarettes and sippin' vodka
Hop a fence and catch a cab, aint no one can stop us
Give me a break about some other mess
What were you
Act like it's everything you got
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you don't
So there you go
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
Stop that, quit! - all that, quit!
Who ruined it you did! now grab a notebook and a pen
Start taking notes, i'm being everyone who's on the top
You think we're on the same page - but, oh we're not!
I'll be the man, watch your backpacks, pens and pencils
Just like he now flippin it, why you just keep it simple you just can't go
Wrong rocking' the clothes
Coppin' the stance
'cause really is everything that you got!
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you don't
So there you go!
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
So
Transpose
Or stop your lies
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run
So why don't you run, so why don't you run
So why don't you run back to school
So why don't you run, so why don't you run
All you are - now i'm on the next page
All you are - it's time to close the book up
All you are - i'm on the next page
All you are - close the book up now
