School's Out

Alice Cooper · School's Out

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found their toys

we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer!
School's out forever!
I'm bored to peices!

We got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no intelligence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Well we can't salute you
can't find a flag
if that don't suit you that's a drag

School's out for summer!
School's out forever!
I'm bored to peices!

No more pencils
No more books
No more teachers
dirty looks
Out for summer
Until fall We might not
come back at all

School's out for summer! (Detention!)
School's out for forever!
School's out with fever!
School's out completely!
School's out for summer!

School's Out

Released in 1972, "School's Out" stands as a defining anthem of the rock era, spearheaded by Alice Cooper's theatrical persona and frontman David Crisp. The track serves as the title track for the band's breakthrough album of the same name, marking a pivotal shift from their earlier horror-themed material toward a more melodic, psychedelic rock sound. With its driving rhythm and iconic guitar solo, the recording captures the spirit of late 1960s counterculture while establishing Cooper's signature style that would influence generations of hard rock and heavy metal artists. The song remains a staple of live performances and has become an enduring symbol of rebellion and youth freedom.
