Why


What they don't say

What they can't say

What they WILL. NOT. SAY.

You.

Don't.

Matter.

This school needs you out

Out and about

And makin em proud

But they don't give you the skills

To climb over the hills

So you're stuck in the mill

In school.

Nothing new.

Out of school.

You're SCREWED.

They don't give you the time

Or show you to rhyme

THEY.

DON'T.

CARE.

How does a doctor have a future

If he can't even suture?

How can a student go on

If in his brain there's nothing going on?

How can we apply to college

If we haven't any knowledge?

Answer me this.

Answer me that.

Why.

Why.

WHY.
