We Rule the School

On a beech tree rudely carved, "NC was here"
Why did she do it? Was she scared, was she bored?
On a beech tree rudely carved, "NC loved me"
Why did she do it? Was she scared, was she pushed?

Do something pretty while you can, don't fall asleep
Skating a pirouette on ice is cool
Do something pretty while you can, don't be a fool
Reading the gospel to yourself is fine

On a bus stop in the town, "We Rule the School"
Written for anyone to read and to see
On a bus stop in the town, "We Rule the School"
Written for anyone with eyes in their head

Do something pretty while you can, don't be afraid
Riding from California to New York

Call me a prophet if you like, it's no secret
You know the world was made for men
You know the world was made for men
You know the world was made for men
Not us.
