I go to school and get a corrupted education
The time I spent here's left me yearning for vacation
These notebooks that I seek
They are my key to liberty
I think the teacher might be somewhat psychopathic
Can't even figure out his basic mathematics
Incomprehensible
Close to impossible
And as I get his problems incorrect
He directs
I hear every door you open
And I know just where you're goin'
You're failing again and again
My ruler's locked and loaded with my ulterior motives
Think you can make it to the weekend?
Better get out while you can
Get out while you can
The retributive rhythm of the metronomic master
It echos through the halls
I think its getting faster
Trying to get ahead, but I just get detention
Each step is filled with dread, he's paying close attention
Freedom sounds so sublime (sublime)
But now it's sweeping time (sweeping time)
And as I do my very best
He still says
I hear every door you open
Did you say my system's broken?
Pathetic that you can't understand
Everything you're doing brings you closer to your ruin
Don't think there ain't no consequences
Get out while you still can
Oh, I remember preschool, back when we always played
It's dire times like these I wish I could have stayed
At least I get to jump rope, but it's just not the same
She stops me in my tracks, and it makes me go insane
He gets closer
And closer
And closer
Oh, oh
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me
Me, me
Me, me
That's me
Oh, oh
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me
Me, me
He hears every door I open
And he knows just what I'm doing
And I can't start this over again
His ruler's locked and loaded with his ulterior motives
I'll never make it to the weekend
Get out while you still can
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me
Oh
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me (stay, stay away from me!)
Oh
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me
Oh
That's me
That's me
That's me
That's me
It's me
