School days, well she ain't no little kid yellin' back at mamma

Daddy knows he's got a situation

Now he sits and prays that it's just infatuation

Stuck in class, the lesson's begun

Her mind is on the night before when she had fun

She says hey, no way, you know what it's like to be young

Learning with the boys she plays a dangerous game

Shooting a line, well there ain't no shame

I say hey, who the hell are you gonna blame

Sneaking down the alleyways

Running down the track

Can't pay the ransom

Get off my back

Bridge

Hey hey teacher take a hundred lines

You've been a naughty boy

Hey hey, teacher, what's that you were doing after school?!

Chorus

Flashpoint serenade

Young and wild, going off the rails tonight

Flashpoint serenade

Who said youth is wasted on the young

Blue eyed boy thinks he's got it made

Daddy says you've got to work, you've got to make the grades

I say hey what a price he has to pay

He don't give a damn, says nobody understands

Screw the homework, I've made bigger plans

I say hey, no way, kick his ass in line

Don't give a damn

But you've gotta have money

This shit ain't funny

No land of milk and honey

Bridge

Chorus

Solo

Trapped in this red brick jungle, this kid's in trouble

Can't point the finger and say who's to blame

Go out with guns a-blazing, self made situation

Me and the boys have got a late night assignation

Oh yeah, gonna kick some ass

Flashpoint serenade, flashpoint serenade

Flashpoint serenade, flashpoint serenade

Solo

Chorus
