The Downtown Fiction - Where Dreams Go To Die (EP Version) lyrics

Your breath hangs in the air It's freezing but the bus ain't there You're wishing for someone to stop this Back in cla** again You feel just like an empty pen Loss for words and void of purpose They cornered you There's nowhere to get out How? How? They'll try to convince you And tell you that they're right They'll break you and beat you And steal away your life And tell you that you're nothing And they'll never get it right But high school's the place Where dreams go to die Teacher thinks you're rude Says, "I don't like your attitude" Well, maybe you're just condescending Bring us up to follow rules And throw us all in cubic rooms But we're not gonna sit by idle We're getting out We're gonna find our way Hey, hey They'll try to convince you Tell you that they're right They'll break you and beat you Steal away your life And tell you that you're nothing And they'll never get it right But high school's the place Where dreams go to die Well, we'll be more than they'll ever be Just bitter from their own failed dreams They're desperate, and do anything to bring you down We'll do more than they ever did Talk down to some poor old kid We are the ones, the ones who made it They'll try to convince you Tell you that they're right They'll break you and beat you Steal away your life And tell you that you're nothing And they'll never get it right But high school's the place where dreams But high school's the place where dreams But high school's the place Where dreams go to die
