Homecoming King

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?

'Cause 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?

'Cause this time you're not homecoming king

You're not homecoming king

You stand on your own

Wasn't what you hoped at all

Do you still recall it?

You're 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 in Massachusetts

To your golden age

Where your crown is shining bright

You didn't see it coming

Now who you gonna wave to?

'Cause this time you're not homecoming king

You didn't see it coming

Now who you gonna wave to?

'Cause this time you're not homecoming king

You're not homecoming king
