He's the type to always get good grades, make the honor role,
His parents are so proud of him but they never noticed he doesn't smile
But today he's coming home with a test marked with an F, smiling for the first time
And he thinks to himself as he walks through the door and sees all the A's posted on the fridge,

Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally learned to live like a kid
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally doing things for himself
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window

She's the type to always win the race, cross the finish line,
Her coach pats her on the back, as her friends shout "victory", she pretends that she cares
But today she's having the time of her life as she walks around the track,
Her opponents running way ahead as she thinks to herself and she smiles,

Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally learned to live like a kid
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally doing things for himself
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
