On your way to the best years of your life   Everyone's banging on their gongs   The sooner you leave the sooner you're home   Back in Massachusetts   To your golden age where they tuck you in at night   You didn't see it coming   Now who you gonna wave to?   This time you're not homecoming king   Did you hear that?    Have you heard that sound before?   Do you even know where it is coming from?   It's getting too loud   It keeps on pushing you out   Into the arms of 1994   You didn't see it coming   Now who you gonna wave to?   You're not homecoming king   You stand on your own   Wasn't what you hoped at all   Do you still recall it   Giving dead-arms in the hall?   Stay right where you are   You'll be half of who you were   When you always would win   So count the days till you give in   Back to Massachusetts   To your golden age where your crown is shining bright   You didn't see it coming   Now who you gonna wave to?   This time you're not homecoming king   Did you see it coming?   Now who you gonna wave to?   This time you're not homecoming king
