Liquid Education
The education system we were brought up in
Taught us how to measure precentages and proofs
We applied that not on our SAT tests
But standing in the local CVS aisles
Trying to determine which alcohol to use
A liquid education
Mixing drinks
Instead of chemical equations
Our parents don't have a clue
What we do outside our four walls
Taking shots in the basement
And late night phone calls
Hitting up the so called dealers
For another dose of Adderall
It's no longer wanted
It became a need
We need to pass our finals
Need to turn our papaers in
We're a walking paradox
Acing our tests and an hour later
Blacked out in some hotel's elevator
We're drinking our feelings
And slurring our speech
But who cares as long as we're rich
Money and Alcohol they go hand in hand
People question our choices
They say our generation is so hard to understand
We'd rather get high somehwere above our 3rd state of mind
Than feel all of this pressure
That's creeping up on us from behind
By our parents..
There are no other exceptions
We're their little angels
They don't want anything less than perfection
