Welcome to the Jungle


Welcome to the infamous jungle of high school Where the smart are undefined and the popular shine Where the teachers grumble and the athletes rumble Where the girls gossip and the boys gossip These are the treacherous four years before college Welcome to the infamous jungle of high school Where the homework becomes over bearing and the diseases come from sharing Where the classes are slow as molasses and the kid becomes a hipster for wearing glasses Where the learning goes down the chute and the guys see raunchy girls as cute Leave! Run away as fast as you can, your education is minute! Welcome to the infamous jungle of high school Where the meek finally prevail and the immodest reach their destined fail Where the lessons are less vicious and the educators are less suspicious Where the knowledge gained isn’t askew and the young men display chivalry for it’s the right thing to do What am I saying?! This nonsense isn’t true! Welcome to the infamous jungle of high school.
