On your way to the best years of your life Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner you're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it? Giving dead-arms in the hall Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days till you give in Back to Massachusetts To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king
