A Harsh Welcome


Welcome to Saint Stephen’s,

we hope you enjoy your stay.

But be careful in what you do,

and especially in what you say.

Welcome to Saint Stephen’s,

where you’ll never have a break,

a perfectly balanced life?

That's impossible to make.

Welcome to Saint Stephen’s,

where we're spoiled to the bone,

with our newly bought iPads,

that we're forced to own.

Welcome to Saint Stephen’s,

where competition's key,

everyone made fun of you 

for when you got a C.

Welcome to Saint Stephen’s,

or should I say goodbye,

'cause if you fail your classes,

college? You're denied.

So goodbye to Saint Stephen’s,

I didn't enjoy my time,

I was careful in what I did,

and I didn't turn out fine.

You really screwed me over,

you really messed up my head,

you even screwed my diet,

from all the cookies I was fed.

By the way you treat your people,

You're a tyrant and you're demanding,

even though you claim 

your people are outstanding.

We were until you got to us,

you gate surrounded bastard,

how to cheat your rules

is the only thing I've mastered.

Goodbye to Saint Stephen’s,

your presence won't be missed,

I can't wait to leave this prison,

released from your fist.
