A banda fora formada em Wichita, Texas, em 1994 com Jarret Reddick (guitarra, vocal), Erik Chandler (baixo, vocal), Chris Burney (guitarra, vocal) e Lance Morril (bateria, vocal). Morril deixou a banda em 1998 (em bons termos), e Gary Wiseman entrou em seu lugar. O nome da banda fora derivado de uma comédia de Steve Martin, denominada “Bowling For Shit”, do seu álbum de comédia de 1978, Wild and Crazy Guy, fazendo uma referência ao Bowling For Dollars.

[Verse] A 4 years you think for sure F#m That's all you got to endure G All the total dicks,all the stuck-up chicks D So superficial so immature.
AF#m Then when you graduate,you take a look around and you say HEY WAIT! GD This is the same as where I just came from, I thought it was over: N.C. Aw that's just great!
[Chorus] ADA The whole damned world is just as obsessed DAEA With who's the best dressed and who's havin' sex ADA Who's got the money, who gets the honeys, DAEA Who's kinda cute, and who's just a mess.
[Post-Chrous] DEDE And you still don't have the right look,and you don't have the right friends, DAE Nothing changes but the faces the names and the trends: N.C. High school never ends
[Interlude] ADA DAEA ADA DAEA
[Verse] AF#m Check out the popular kids, you'll never guess what Jessica did. G And how did Mary Kate lose all that weight? D And Katy had a baby so I guess Tom's straight. AF#m And the only thing that matters, is getting up that social ladder. G Still care about your hair and the car you drive. D Doesn't matter if your 16 or 35.
[Bridge] EAEA Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen, EAEA Bill Gates, captain of the chess team. EA Jack Black, the clown, EA Brad Pit the quarterback. D Seen it all before: E I want my money back!
[Chorus] ADA The whole damned world is just as obsessed DAEA With who's the best dressed and who's havin' sex ADA Who's in the club, who's on the drugs, DAEA Who's throwing up before they digest.
[Post-Chrous] DEDE And you still don't have the right look,and you don't have the right friends, DAE And you still listen to the same shit you did back then N.C. High school never ends
