Текст песни Pencey Prep - Eighth Grade

Caught staring again,
Like a deer in headlights
When I can't move fast enough,
I take a hit for the team

Pretty girl is blushing,
I can't tell if she's disgusted
Laughter starts to swell
Someone gets the joke

Bell rings, I make my escape,
It helps a little but doesn't save
Beat down's a common thing
It happens everyday
Maybe I'm just strange,
Cause I don't change schools
So maybe I like the abuse,
Or maybe I'm just like you

Another confrontation,
You've got something to prove
Your girl can't tell how tough you are
When you beat me up in the boy's room

I made a big mistake,
But I can't help who I like
This may not cost my life,
But I'm branded forever lame
This was not my decision
You were born with good looks
And a solid right hook
Whining makes no difference

You bruised my eye
It doesn't hurt at all
One day I'll rise above,
And you will take the fall (motherfucker!)
I may be beat today,
But I will survive
I'll get up off the ground,
Stand tall and fight
My eyes don't hurt at all
I'd rather die than be your whipping boy

School year's almost over
Summer's one day closer
Summer's one day closer
Summer's one day closer

As God as my witness,
I will never be a victim again
