about
Kids at School takes on shades of the Grateful Dead and The Old 97s, delving into alt-country and rambling roots-rock.
lyrics
You take your lessons wisely
Learn to play by all the rules
Follow trends and fashions blindly
Like all the kids at school
They never knew your name
Take your victories as you get them
Take your prize and run away
Hope they come with no surprises
With all the games they play
They still don't know your name
You forgive and you forget
What you give is what you'll get
It's all the same
You remember back to seventh grade
In a shack out by the pool
Fumbling blindly in the darkness
She told all the girls at school
You couldn't play the game
And all the boys they called you faggot
Stole your books and ran away
Spit on you and beat you senseless
But that's just a game they play
They won't remember your name
You forgive and they forget
What you give is what you'll get
It's all the same
She earned her reputation
In the backseat of a car
You heard from all the boys at school
You never got that far
She used to be so hungry
Always meant to be a star
But that little voice inside her head said
Stay right where you are
You rose above that situation
And went on to be a man
Left behind all those boys at school
Trying to do the best they can
They're doing just the same
She went on to be half empty
Serving cheap, domestic beer
To all the boys who called you faggot
Trying to relive better years
They don't remember her name
You forgave and they forgot
Oh you gave and you gave and you gave and you gave
But this is all you got
Learn to play by all the rules
Follow trends and fashions blindly
Like all the kids at school
They never knew your name
Take your victories as you get them
Take your prize and run away
Hope they come with no surprises
With all the games they play
They still don't know your name
You forgive and you forget
What you give is what you'll get
It's all the same
You remember back to seventh grade
In a shack out by the pool
Fumbling blindly in the darkness
She told all the girls at school
You couldn't play the game
And all the boys they called you faggot
Stole your books and ran away
Spit on you and beat you senseless
But that's just a game they play
They won't remember your name
You forgive and they forget
What you give is what you'll get
It's all the same
She earned her reputation
In the backseat of a car
You heard from all the boys at school
You never got that far
She used to be so hungry
Always meant to be a star
But that little voice inside her head said
Stay right where you are
You rose above that situation
And went on to be a man
Left behind all those boys at school
Trying to do the best they can
They're doing just the same
She went on to be half empty
Serving cheap, domestic beer
To all the boys who called you faggot
Trying to relive better years
They don't remember her name
You forgave and they forgot
Oh you gave and you gave and you gave and you gave
But this is all you got

about
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Currently based in Tacoma Washington, BBB has been making music together for over 7 years
now.
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a small group of experienced musicians came together at open mic and began playing each other's music together. Playing music became writing music. Writing music became recording music, so they banded together and began to grow into Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo...and it was good.
