A lotta crazy
It goes on in the classroom
Goes on in the toilets
And on in the changing rooms
You hear it
Down in the hall
Or it's out in the field
Where there's boys playing ball
A lotta messy
It goes on after school
And it's often a party for all of the cool kids
Invitation only
But if you know somebody
You could sneak in
That's where the drama begins
There's always something going on
Another incident each day
All of the innocence is gone
From all those games we used to play
There's always something by the dawn
And we'll all rise up on our way
And by the the time we get to school
It's there we'll hear somebody sayin'
What the hell
Do you mean
By someone's dating that Year Thirteen?
What the hell do you mean by-
By someone's confirmed it?
What the hell
Do you mean
By someone's fighting in the canteen?
What the hell do you mean by-
By someone's getting hit?
Welcome to secondary in Great Britain
Last years of Compulsory Education
All schools are like this for your information
It just seems to be how the script's been written
Oh, welcome to the secondary school system
You wanna know the rules of course I'll list 'em
But you know they say rules that are best when broken
And with these kids that's the problem
There's always a brawl
There's always some punches thrown
There's a hierarchy
By how well that you're known
Are you bait?
Or a nerd who gets every high score?
Are you a player or just date around
And get called a whore?
Are you a teacher's pet or the quiet kid?
Are you the class clown
Or just set eight stupid?
It don't matter 'cuz you'll hear a rumour
'Bout yourself I guarantee
And I know what the words you'll say will be
You'll say-
What the hell
Do you mean
By someone's spreading rumours 'bout me?
What the hell do you mean by-
By someone's spreading shit?
Hey
What the hell
Do you mean (oh)
By someone's showed up to school tipsy?
What the hell do you mean by-
By someone's not present?
What the hell
Do you mean (oh)
By someone's gotten down and dirty?
What the hell do you mean by-
By someone's pregnant?
