Deftonesis a platinum selling, Grammy award winning alternative rockband from Sacramento, California. Frontman Chino Moreno's poetic lyrics—described by a Time magazine critic as "furiously intelligent"—are often evocative, yet are sparse enough to allow for multiple interpretations. Moreno has cited Morrissey, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, The Cure's Robert Smith, and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahanamong his favorite singers, and beyond an occasional similarity in vocal technique, these singers' sweeping sense of drama and delicate vulnerability is often evident in Moreno's vocals. Deftones members have worked on several side projects, including Moreno's Team Sleepand drummer Abe Cunningam's Phallucy. Guitarist Stephen Carpenter works with a group called Kush, featuring members of Fear Factoryand Cypress Hill.

Back To School Lyrics

Deftones

So run
Right
Right back to school
Check it
Look back I sift through all the cliques
Roaming the halls all year, making me sick
While everyones out tryin to make the cut
What?
And when you think you know me right I switch it up
Behind the walls smokin cigarettes and sippin vodka
Hop a fence and catch a cab, aint no one can stop us
Give me a break about some other mess
What were you?
Act like its everything you got
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you dont
So there you go
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
Stop that, quit! - all that, quit!
Who ruined it? you did! now grab a notebook and a pen
Start taking notes, Im being everyone whos on the top
You think were on the same page - but, oh were not!
Ill be the man, watch your backpacks, pens and pencils
Just like he now flippin it, why you just keep it simple? you just cant go
Wrong rocking the clothes
Coppin the stance
cause really is everything that you got!
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you dont
So there you go!
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
So
Transpose
Or stop your lies
Its what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run
So why dont you run, so why dont you run
So why dont you run back to school
So why dont you run, so why dont you run
All you are - now Im on the next page
All you are - its time to close the book up
All you are - Im on the next page
All you are - close the book up now
