We Can Do Better


We are big boys and girls.

We know where we're going in life.

We don't need to know about the weight you lost over break.

We just need what will get us an "A".

We need help when we ask for it.

We need to be taken seriously.

We pave our own road to success.

We can get by on our own.

We would be better off to just come on test day.

We can study on our own time so much better than any teacher could teach.

We know we must do things we don't like sometimes but

we are so much better than everyone else thinks.

When it comes down to it we hate to waste our time and

We can do better.
