It seems we've made no progress within the last 12 years
|
because deadlines and tests and fucked up kids
|
have transformed high school into a house of fears.
|
And if the budget keeps blocking sunlight we can't help these growing trees.
|
And I doubt that the integral from 0 to 2 of sec(x^2)dx is something I need.
|
So I'll take my pencil, break it on m head.
|
There's no use in knowing how long Calvin Coolidge's been dead
|
If you're not getting real education go complain
|
because we deserve all that we want.
|
Term papers declare them useless, I'll get them off the net.
|
I don't remember a single thing my 8th grade teachers said
|
except the propagandist dittos they told me to read.
|
Such a paucity of free thought. I must believe what they believe.
|
So I'll take those dittos and burn them till they're dead.
|
Hooray for Operation Desert Storm is what they said.
|
On my Brit Lit quizzes I just guessed. I'll believe everything I want.
|
In school they constantly reminded me
|
that I wasn't smart enough and that I wasn't cool.
|
In school they rarely tell you there's more to life than school.
|
Well I learned how to add and anti-differentiate.
|
Well I learned the formula for Sodium Benzoate.
|
Well I learned the 1 chord to the 5 is a half cadence.
|
I learned how to ask how to piss in English and Spanish.
|
We have to take some time to just forget about our classes.
|
Seize the day it doesn't matter if we fall on our asses.
|
Cause you'll learn that g=9.8 and w=mg
|
But I rarely get a thing from class that helps me become me.
|
So raise your hand high, say what you wanna say.
|
And if they condemn and fail you you will still be ok.
|
Just be yourself and succeed anyway.
|
I'm afraid of not doing what I want.
