The clock on the wall says 3:15
Not a backpack to be seen
a classroom of isolation
and it looks like
we are free
the teachers shouting cuz they can't keep us inside
couldn't keep us inside
heaven knows they tried

Don't let them win
don't let them see
be the free kids we always want to be
feel, don't conceal
just let them know
well, now they'll know!

Let us go
let us go
can't keep us here anymore
let us go
let us go
turn around and slam those doors
we don't care what you're going to say
let school go on
those gates couldn't keep us in anyway

it's funny how this school year
made every day seem long
and the teachers who once controlled us
can't get to us at all!
It's time to see what we can do
test the limits and break through
no right, no wrong, no rules for us
we're free!

Let us go
let us go
time to spread our wings and fly
let us go
let us go you'll never see us cry
we don't care what you're going to say
let school go on

our freedom hovers in the air
and toward our open hands
our souls are spiraling like restless spirits all around
and one thought burns through our minds like a solar blast
we're never going back; the past is in the past!

Let us go
let us go
we'll rise like the sun at dawn
let us go
let us go
those perfect kids are gone
here we stand, in the light of day

let school go on
those gates couldn't keep us in anyway
