Hi, I’m John

Nice to meet you Mr. Textbook

I hope you can teach me

not preach to me

or verbally beat me

Actually make me happy to learn

make me happy to come to class

or school in general

but why am I talking to you

you’re an inanimate object

just like my teacher love of education

But I was told to come to you

from a blue dude who calls kids retarded

so what should I do

Shut up, sit down

turn that frown upside down

be a good drone and graduate as another number

and then I can begin to practice saying "may I take your order"

I can't wait, it would be great

so I can make minimum wage

because I was told I couldn't be anything

from another soul who already lost his way

SO BE GAY

SAY HOORAY

STAND UP AND SAY

I CARE

if you dare to leave that chair

So stand up, look me in the eye and lie to me

try to put me down more because your unsatisfied

at least Mr.Textbook is there

always ready to enlighten me a little more every day.
