| When you called me on the phone
|
| I almost prayed that you’d forgive me
|
| 'Cause with everything you know
|
| There’s always something that you don’t
|
| I hadn’t seen you in a while
|
| Not since that mix-up at the rock club
|
| I wish we coulda talked all night
|
| But that evening took a spill
|
| And we woke up feeling things might never be the same
|
| Oh oh, 'cause everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school
|
| Yeah, everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school
|
| Yeah
|
| Took the records from the den
|
| Down to the rec room in the basement
|
| And we did anything we want
|
| Tore the white stripes off the wall
|
| It didn’t take me long to see
|
| That I was just your new distraction
|
| But when I walked you home that night
|
| You know I kissed you anyway
|
| And the bus route to your heart may still be on the way
|
| Oh oh, 'cause everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school
|
| Yeah, everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school
|
| Yeah
|
| Could’ve seen those nights would fade
|
| And all the plans we made would follow
|
| Like the pharaohs laid to rest
|
| Or the river that runs dry
|
| I hear you’re seeing someone new
|
| Plays guitar and writes you letters
|
| He pretends he knows you well
|
| But we both know that that’s not true
|
| And still some nights the stars remind me we’re the same
|
| Oh oh, 'cause everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school
|
| Yeah, everybody everybody everybody knows
|
| We’re the rulers of this place
|
| We’re the leaders of the new school |
