School - Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

Scared Straight was a punk band from Simi Valley, California. The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends and was originally called S.O.F. Original members were Scott Radinsky, Mike Thompson, Gary Gallanes and Dennis Jagard, who started the band to enter a "Battle of the Bands" competition at a local skate rink. After going through several members and name changes, they began playing with some "Nardcore" bands from nearby Oxnard, California, which helped them gain recognition. All of the Scared Straight records were released by Mystic Records.

I'm going to tell you a story About what I did all day The story's about my old school And there's not too much to say I came from a school surrounded by fences The unbearable stench dulling my senses Walkie talkie ladies guared the grounds Stupid jocks and preppies ran all around I wrote my name on the bathroom wall Six teachers walked me down the hall The principal's office is where I sat He beat me over the head with a baseball bat Got to get away Glad I got away
