英文摇滚乐：Jon McLaughlin - Four Years

歌手名叫Jon McLaughlin，土生土长在美国Indiana的Anderson，童年时期就开始接受古典音乐的学习，然而在高中时他却对古典音乐失去了兴趣，而一次意外的事故也让他的两只手腕受伤，不得不使他放弃以自己从小苦练的钢琴为主要奋斗方向。此后他意识到，他可以将钢琴与自己更喜欢的流行音乐合二为一。于是他考取了当地的音乐学院，在那里他学习钢琴，并在课作时间大量创作歌曲。在音乐学院的专业训练，为他的音乐创作提供了无限丰富的营养。

歌词：

Song：Four Years
Artist：Jon McLaughlin

they tore my high school to the ground and
put a new wing in the east lot
on my old parking spot
it stands reminding me of how
i wish that i could travel back in time
change my state of mind

so if you're still in your teens listen to me

it's hard to see beyond these walls
of who (who) and who not to be
socially
maybe you're in you're out
but in the end when all your hats are in the air
nobody's gonna care

so fair the weight
freshmen¹ hold on
it's only four years long
then it's gone
and the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
look at them now
she's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown²
so be cool, be hot, be weird³
it's just four years

next time you're walking through your school
take at who's surrounding you
or hounding⁴ you
cause it's all just castles in the sand
when your tassel's on the left side of your head
you're never going back

so hope (?)
it's only four years long
then it's gone
and the king of the nerds and the queen of the prom get a job
what did you know?
he's a ceo and she answers his phone
so be cool, be hot, be weird
it's just four years

and as for your grades i know they're important
everyone wants to be a wiz
cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts
i just don't know where mine is

so fair the weight
freshmen hold on cause every homecoming court moves on
it's only four years long
then it's gone
and the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
look at them now
she's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
so be cool, be hot, be weird oh
be hot, be wild, you're here oh
be cool, be hot, be weird
it's just four years
