Stick to the Status Quo

You can bet there's nothin' but net

When I am in a zone and on a roll

But I've got a confession, my own secret obsession

And it's making me lose control

Everybody gather around

"If Troy can tell his secret then I can tell mine"

"I bake"

"What?"

"I love to bake, strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy"

Not another sound

"Someday, I hope to make the perfect crème brûlée"

No, no, no

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you wanna be cool

Follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo

Look at me and what do you see?

Intelligence beyond compare

But inside I am stirring, something strange is occurring

It's a secret I need to share

Open up, dig way down deep

"Hip-hop is my passion"

"I love to pop, and lock, and jam, and break"

"Is that even legal?"

Not another peep

"It's just dancing"

"Sometimes, I think it's even cooler than homework"

No, no, no

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

It's better by far

To keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo

Listen well, I'm ready to tell, about a need that I cannot deny

Dude there's no explanation for this awesome sensation

But I'm ready to let it fly

Speak your mind and you'll be heard

"Alright if Troy wants to be a singer then I coming clean"

"I play the cello"

"Awesome"

"What is it?"

"A saw"

"No dude, it's like a giant violin"

Not another word

"Do you have to wear a costume?"

"Coat and tie"

No, no, no, no

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you wanna be cool

Follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo, oh

No, no, no

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

It's better by far

To keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, no, no

Stick to the status quo

This is not what I want

This is not what I planned

And I just got to say

I do not understand

Something is really

Something's not right

Really wrong

And we gotta get things back where they belong

We can do it

Gotta play

Stick with what you know

We can do it

Hip-hop hooray

She has got to go

We can do it

Crème Brûlée

Keep your voice down low

Not another peep (no)

Not another word (no)

Not another sound (no)

Everybody quiet

"Why is everybody staring at you?"

"Not me, you"

"Because of the call backs?"

"I can't have people staring at me, I really can't"

No, no, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

If you wanna be cool

Follow one simple rule

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status quo

No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you know

It's better by far

To keep things as they are

Don't mess with the flow, no no

Stick to the status

Stick to the status

Stick to the status quo
