Just a kid in high school actin' like I'm real cool
Never been the teacher's pet, I've always played the fool
Never had no money, never had a job
Ain't lookin' for no welfare, always runnin' from the cops

We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class
We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class

Rock, rock, rock, rock school
We want a
Rock, rock, rock, rock school
We want a
Rock, rock, rock, rock school
All day long

The teacher says I'm lazy, my mom, she says I'm crazy
Schoolyard blues, well, they always bring me down
Don't want no foreign language, hate algebra and maps
Who needs to be an Einstein to know that rock will last?

We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class
We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class

Rock, rock, rock, rock school
We want a
Rock, rock, rock, rock school
We want a
Rock, rock, rock, rock school
All day long

But when the weekend comes, it's just me and the boys
Cruisin' and boozin', make a whole lot of noise
Lookin' for girls in the heat of the night
Gotta have action, rock 'n' roll and a fight

The weekend's come and gone, when Monday's back again
The big exam in question, the song is still same
School like a prison sentence, to behave, yeah, you're okay
Still waitin' for that clock to strike, you're finished for the day

We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class
We want it, we need it
Rock 'n' roll in class

Rock, rock, rock, rock school
We wanna
Rock, rock, rock in school
We wanna
Rock, rock, rock in school
We wanna
Rock, rock, rock in school

We wanna
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock in school
