Lyrics:

The old school
Is better than the new school
Our stunts
Were stupider than your stunts

In the day knee pads were laughed at
We knew how to mess ourselves up
Climb on to the roof real high
And jump from the top

The old school
Is better than the new school
Yeah, our stunts
Were stupider than your stunts

But first remember
You only get one chance
Don't break your leg
Acid drop!

There was pogoing and freestyling
Back when ramps were rad
What a great ride, he's gleaming the cube
Right on, it's rad, woo-hoo!

Steve Caballero and Tony Hawk
The elite of the Bones Brigade
Dwayne Peters invented pool skating
For me and you

Grab your skateboard
And climb real high
You jump off
Don't die!

But first remember
You only get one chance
Don't break your leg
The acid drop!

There I stood on the roof of my parent's garage
The wind blew through my hair as I looked down at the yard
I felt like a NASA scientist
On his first day of work
About to defy the laws of gravity
The crowd said they'd give me to a count of three
And then they'd push
But they only counted two

Skate or die! (Or die!)
Skate or die! (Or die!)
Skate or die! (Or die!)
Skate or die! (Or die!)
