A Life Without an Education
All the pressure, all the rules
when my alarm clock rings my heart stops
I don't want to go to school
It begins and ends with walking a mile to and from the parking lots
I have to make sure what I wear is acceptable
I have to make sure I stay awake despite being tired
I don't want to get near the Vice Principal.
I don't want to fail and not get hired.
It's funny because what we don't want in life is what we need the most
And school offers an edcuation
which is a way to a better life that's worth a toast
Retrospectively school is very essential to me
Without it, I'd be in a hopeless situation
