The clock goes tick tick
And the brain explodes
Everyone sitting in perfectly precise rows
Wasting away their time in that place
Everything revolves around the letter grade
What ever happened to good character?
Personality?
Those things become obsolete
And cheating?
Who cares, as long as you receive the grade you want
The grade you need
The grade that will get you into college
The grade that controls your life
The same grade that will stay with you all the way through college
All the way through college
Just wasting more time that place
Maybe if you stay in that place, you will be able to get a job
The clock goes tick tick
And the brain explodes
Seems like a pretty solid system
But what about the people who can’t focus?
What about them, huh?
The solid system seems to be flawed
It is the opposite of perfect
Nothing to do about it
We must mindlessly follow the cycle
Cycles will not stop without being broken
So, the clock continues to go tick tick
And the brain explodes
The cycle is still going
Without anyone knowing
The letter grade is still all that matters and cheating is allowed as long as you don’t get caught
Seems like a pretty solid system to me how about you?
Lets all forget about good character and personality
Those things are too trivial
We must focus on the letter grade
Focus, focus, focus
Keep the focus as the clock goes tick tick
As you hear pencils tapping to a perfect rhythm
As your brain explodes
