[Verse 1]

We played it fast, we played it loud

A bit too much, a bit too proud

The only way we knew to do it right

It washed away the misery

So, do you know your history?

Or did you only show up for the fight?

[Pre-Chorus]

Now, all my friends are headed to L'Amour

"You've reached L'Amour

The 'Rock Capital of Brooklyn'"

Half of them are bounced right out the door

"Tonight, Overkill at L'Amour

Sold out"

And if we had the chance to say

Not to go another way

[Chorus]

Here's to the old school

Didn't matter if you looked cool

We drank some beers

And broke some heads

We never gave a shit

Climbed every mountain

We stormed every city

They said that this would never last

We never gave a fuck

Hey, hey, hey!

[Post-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey!

[Verse 2]

Yeah, there's blood all over me

I caught the eye of Johnny Z

Bang your head, thrash around the pit

Now, who the fuck would've thunk

They're playin' us on Eddie Trunk?

Catch some air, dive; who gives a shit?

[Pre-Chorus]

And all my friends are headed to the Ritz

"Hey, it's Eddie Trunk

With a great new band out of Jersey: Overkill"

Bobby G., Rat Skates, D.D. and "Blitz"

"Here's 'Rotten to the Core'

From their debut Feel the Fire"

And if we get the chance to play

No, we'll never go away

[Chorus]

Here's to the old school

Didn't matter if you looked cool

We drank some beers

And broke some heads

We never gave a shit

Climbed every mountain

We stormed every city

They said that this would never last

We never gave a fuck

[Post-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Here's to the old school

Didn't matter if you looked cool

We drank some beers

And broke some heads

We never gave a shit

Climbed every mountain

We stormed every city

They said that this would never last

We never gave a fuck

Here's to the old school

Didn't matter if you looked cool

We drank some beers

And broke some heads

We never gave a shit

Climbed every mountain

We stormed every city

They said that this would never last

We never gave a fuck

Hey, hey, hey!

[Post-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!
