Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid 
         C                       Am

Now you gotta take a test in a bulletproof vest 
          C                       Am

I remember doin' 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket 
C                             Am 
Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped 
Am                                 F 
Bad cops played the jury, made the good ones worry 
      C                          Am
