Always a Student
Prepare me for the real world, what comes next
How can you show me that through your texts,
The tests, and the best part is
Twenty-one years old, I haven't learned that lesson
Stuck in a classroom since I was five
How can you teach a person to be alive,
To strive to succeed, is it something
In your veins? The As on my papers tell me I've got the brains
But it feels like something's missing
It's not school I'm dissing
Only this feeling of drifting
I just don't know anything else but the desks
I don't know enough to face what comes next
So I'll stay in school until my pockets wear thin
And hope that you can show me where to begin
