Old 97's Friends Forever lyrics

I was a debater
Was not a stoner or an inline skater
Was not a player or a player hater
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
Who's to say that's wrong?

I was in the chess club
Didn't have a swimming pool much less a true love
Didn't have a dalliance much less a hot tub
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
Who's to say that's wrong?

The twelve years after five are years we're lucky to survive
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away

Went out for the football team
Found out the hard way that you can't live your dad's dream
Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine

Then I found a guitar and the rest's a fanzine
Who's to say that's wrong?

The moral of the song is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along come graduation day, you'll be gone
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away

The moral of the song is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along, come graduation, you'll be gone
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away

Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away
Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away
In memory far away
