High School

20/5/11

All the teachers they knew I was a sick kid
so I was pretty much let off for everything,
I didn’t have to do this, I didn’t have to do that
‘cause I had low self esteem and I hated working
in partners or teams so I’d just skip class
but my sickness charm doesn’t last
in the real world.

I miss high school where all my stupid crimes
could be erased by simply writing lines,
where I met all of my best friends
in a room that was labelled detention,
where we could all repent and be forgiven,
Oh the simple days.

Never had to work more than a couple of hours
without having recess and lunches or time out’s,
‘Cause I wasn’t setting the best example for star student
but and I don’t mean to brag but I didn’t have to try
to get good grades, I just did
but my teachers were right ‘kid
you can’t get everything by doing nothing’

I miss high school where all my stupid crimes
could be erased by simply writing lines,
where I met all of my best friends
in a room that was labelled detention,
where we could all repent and be forgiven,
Oh the simple days.

And now laziness is my biggest crime
and my biggest enemy is passing time,
I have no job because I still have low self esteem,
I have few friends cause I still hate working in teams,
And I can’t be forgiven for the things I’ve done,
Oh life is so much more than...
High school was simply simple if you had the brains
and after high school well then comes all the pain
that I sung away, I drunk away, I acted away,
And if I thought high school made me sick
well I guess I hadn’t yet met this.
And now I can hear my teachers in my ears,
“You are selling yourself short and you can’t
have anything if you don’t try anything,
You are selling yourself so short”
