School days, well she ain't no little kid yellin' back at mamma
Daddy knows he's got a situation
Now he sits and prays that it's just infatuation


Stuck in class, the lesson's begun
Her mind is on the night before when she had fun

She says hey, no way, you know what it's like to be young
Learning with the boys she plays a dangerous game
Shooting a line, well there ain't no shame

I say hey, who the hell are you gonna blame

Sneaking down the alleyways

Running down the track
Can't pay the ransom
Get off my back


[Bridge]
Hey hey teacher take a hundred lines

You've been a naughty boy
Hey hey, teacher, what's that you were doing after school?!


[Chorus]
Flashpoint serenade
Young and wild, going off the rails tonight

Flashpoint serenade
Who said youth is wasted on the young


Blue eyed boy thinks he's got it made
Daddy says you've got to work, you've got to make the grades
I say hey what a price he has to pay

He don't give a damn, says nobody understands
Screw the homework, I've made bigger plans
I say hey, no way, kick his $$# in line


Don't give a damn
But you've gotta have money

This %#@! ain't funny
No land of milk and honey


[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]


Trapped in this red brick jungle, this kid's in trouble
Can't point the finger and say who's to blame

Go out with guns a-blazing, self made situation
Me and the boys have got a late night $$#ignation
Oh yeah, gonna kick some $$#

Flashpoint serenade, flashpoint serenade
Flashpoint serenade, flashpoint serenade


[Solo]
[Chorus]
