After Hi School Lyrics by ​The Time

The Time

1981

[Verse 1]
Seems like nothing's ever gonna change in my world
Every day is more the same old thing
But in the spring, I'm gonna graduate from hi school
Then I won't have to live by anybody else's rules
Everybody tells me things don't stay the same
If you wanna live, you gotta play the game
[Chorus]
And they say
Hey you, what you gonna do after hi school?
Hey you, what you, what you gonna do?
And they say
Hey you, what you gonna do after hi school?
Hey you, what you, what you gonna do?
[Verse 2]
But there's a lot of stuff that I could learn to do in my world
Learn to drive a truck or maybe even join a band
My parents tellin' me I got to go to college
I won't get anywhere if I don't have the knowledge
Uncle Sam keeps sending letters in the mail
If you don't register, you're gonna go to jail
Gonna go to jail
[Chorus]
And they say
Hey you, what you gonna do after hi school?
Hey you, what you, what you gonna do?
And they say
Hey you, what you gonna do after hi school?
Hey you, what you, what you gonna do?
Listen to me, listen to me!
Hey you, what you gonna do?
Hey you, what you gonna do after hi school?
[Outro]
Hey you! (Hi school)
Hey you! (Hi school)
Hey you! (Hi school)
Hey you! (Hi school)
I'm talkin' to ya, you stupid slob!
Get a job, you bum!
I'm talkin' to you
