Old 97's - Friends Forever lyrics

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 Who's to say that's wrong I was in the chess club Didn't have a swimming pool much less a true love Didn't have a dalliance much less a hot tub I was just a brain whose brain never let up Who's to say that's wrong The twelve years after five Are years we'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 can't live your Dad's dream Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine Then I found a guitar and the rest's a fanzine Who's to say that'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 you'll be gone Hang in there friends forever In memory far away
