about

This song is the centerpiece of the upcoming Disney film "High School Reunion: 20 Year Anniversary".

lyrics

Never got invited to the party in the barn
The big one with the kegs out in the back
Never spun the bottle with Alisa Barsalotti
The one with the bodacious rack
Never spent the weekend doing bong hits in the basement
Watching pornos till your eyeballs turned blue
Never got to do what the cool kids do

Never told your parents you were sneaking off to Ozzfest
Cause you knew that they would never let you go
Never hitched to Boston just to try and score a ticket
But you tripped so long you missed the whole show
Never spent the money you were saving for tuition
On a multicolor full back tattoo
Never got to do what the cool kids do

So here’s the problem
Now you’re 30 years old
And still you’re longing for the cool kid kicks
So here’s the problem
Now you’re 40 years old
And still you haven’t ever realized
That the cool kids were a bunch of stupid dicks

Never shot tequila till you lost your lunch and dinner
On the leather in your buddy’s new car
Never kept on drinking in a contest with your buddy
To see whose projectile vomit went far
Never got arrested running screaming through the village
Wearing underpants and only one shoe

Never got to do what the cool kids
Never cut out school with the cool kids
Never broke a rule like the cool kids
Didn’t end up a tool like the cool kids do
