Tell me why I'm not allowed

To say I don't want to go

Tell me why I have to suffer

8 hours of a teacher who doesn't care..

And students who don't want to be there.

Tell me why you can't just see

This isn't the best for me

Tell me why school is cruel

I'll tell you why, it's true

If they cared and if times were changed

Maybe if we didn't have to spend 8 hours there

And another 4 at home

They tell us we need sleep

Where they value...

Your grade above your health

It's not your ability to write an essay

But the length of your shorts

You're stripped of basic human rights

Like

Using the toilet

And, dare you admit your displeasure

And you're just an angry teenager

Say all you want

They just won't listen

Now tell me why

You call kids stupid
