The Kid With Straight A's

I'm not getting an education.

I'm there to pass a test.

To make the school system

look good.

I'm not getting an education.

I work my butt off.

I'm there to get a grade.

I don't learn.

I'm not getting an education.

I'm getting homework.

That doesn't mean anything

to my life.

I'm not getting an education.

I'm getting lectured

on books I don't learn

anything from.

I'm not getting an education.

I'm getting talked at

about how to live a life by people

who have never done it.
