Gotta beat the mean,

You gotta apply,

You gotta beat the average.

They throw chalk at your soul and hope the dust leaves you panting for creativity. 

Training you to reach the average,

Training you to sit on the average,

Training you to be the average.

8 to 6

Button down shirt

Sensible heels

That’s the goal.

Y=mx+b doesn’t measure any curve of beauty that I know of.

A2+B2=C2 isn’t in an emotional range.

Live a Thoreau life who needs a thorough life?

Gotta beat the mean,

You gotta apply,

You gotta beat the average.

You’re a scale young man, a system of numbers.

You’re a picture of iambic pentameter girlie, a system of numbers.

Teach you how to rot,

Teach you all the averages,

Teach you to oppress yourself,

Teach you to oppress all else,

Telling you to beat the averages.

Use the formula,

Be the formula,

Teach us all the formula.

Gotta beat the mean,

You gotta apply,

You gotta (be)at the average.
