NuSkool Has Spelling Issues

The next song I am going to discuss from RE:boot is NuSkool.  This song has generated the most questions of any of my songs.  "What does it mean?" being the main question.

Basically, this song talks about technology, change and feeling "Out of the loop."  It's really just a fun song.

Many people have asked me what the line "Who told you that green is blue?"  That line is actually an ode to the movie Legally Blonde where the line "Whoever said orange was the new pink is seriously disturbed" was used. Basically, in this song, the line is used to indicate that I will not let someone tell me that what I believe is wrong is now right and vice-versa.

Here are the lyrics:


NuSkool
(c)2012 - Midiboy Music

Things are moving so fast I just cannot keep up
When I figure it out, it's yesterday's news.
I'm having trouble keeping up with staying behind
So you just look back at me and you bid me adieu

I guess that's just how it will be
You might say my ship has sunk
You say I'm blind but I can see
That it looks like I'm gunna flunk NuSkool
That's just how it will be
You might say my ship has sunk
You say I'm blind but I can see
That it looks like I'm gunna flunk NuSkool

Well it looks like I'm a loner cuz I just don't belong
The world moved on and left me here by myself
Everything I think is right, I'm told it is wrong
Now I know what it must be like to collect dust on the shelf

Out with the old, in with the new
Don't you know that green is the brand new blue?
You can't keep up so out with you
We are the one that make all-a-the rules

Hey what happened here my clothes are back in style
Everything that once was old has been made new once more
New movies that we see, I remember as a child
Retro is the new right now, once was hated...now adored

Yesterday. Today. Forever
Only One remains the same

I guess that's just how it will be
You might say my ship has sunk
You say I'm blind, but can't you see
I just don't care if I flunk NuSkool
That's just how it will be
You might say my ship has sunk
You say I'm blind, but can't you see
I just don't care if I flunk NuSkool

In with the old, the old is new
Well who told you that green is blue?
In with the old, the old is new
I'm here to tell you green is certainly not blue!

-=-=-=-

The key line in the song is: Yesterday.  Today.  Forever
Only One remains the same.

While things change every day before our very eyes, we can be assured that the One who created everything has never changed and will never change.

That is all.
