Just to put it simple...


Just to put it simple...

I'm tired of the opression

The disregard to progression

We stick with the same curriculum

My brain is going numb

All the information I receive is boring and low leveled

Shoot when I was in Germany it was so much better

Back there we worked together

The teaching was fast paced

We learned new things every day

As soon as I came here to Texas I didn't even know what to say

I could have skipped almost three grades

Simply because they were so far back

All that was happening was slack slack slack

I'm about to crack

America used to be the greatest

Now it's practically the lamest

There needs to be improvement

There needs to be DO-ment

It's as if school is just a place to gain fame

That's all I see as I study and go through mental pain

It rubs off though because I used to have a 4.1 GPA

Now I'm down to 3.7 today

We look up to the government to for a source of intelligence

But then I see Obama waving at the television everyday and I take offense!

We need to improve

We need to get up and move

Lay down arms and pick up the brains

Stop the wars and start the intellectual trains!
