School View
You need an education in order to succeed
Unless you really have a dream
One that fills your mind every day
And makes you believe
Tomorrow could be the day
But I don’t have a dream
My life isn't shaped that way
So I sit here wondering
"Will I really succeed?"
Failed Bio once
But I am continuing
Mainly because of the opportunity
And working at Party City would be torturing
Fast forward two years since Biology
I realize now what's so conflicting to me
It's not the education, but school itself
The letters on paper
And paper we pay
"Wasting trees"
Isn't that what you tree huggers would say?
Who knows, maybe not ---assuming, I hate
Back to my point
It's school I hate
Then one day, advice was given my way
That saying no to friends is actually okay
But what about when these people need you most
And their issues are flooding
Cornering them in a boat
While I'm just sitting here "studying"
Ignoring the problems
That, I cannot do.
That, I will not do.
People are more important
Than the letters on paper I get
So when it comes at the end of May
All I have to say is
Fuck it.
