Thirteen Years


Thirteen years is all it takes

Thats all it takes to graduate

We work, we cram, we quiz, we test

All to prove that we can pass

There's more to us then you may think

But we will be moving on in just a blink

But wait there's more, there's college too

They expect more than thirteen years out of you

Help us out, provide some ease

Make us understand, we beg you please

Don't cram, don't expect us to remember

Hell, we only went over it for one hour

Also we have more classes than one

There's seven or eight or nine, not none

We give eight hours of our day for this

Make it actually useful in the life that we live

I want to learn about taxes and payments,

Not all these other "helpful arrangements"
