Leaders Of The New School

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
