lyrics

I get here early every day, hoping that this time things might break my way. I take the seat you made me take, next to the girl who never has anything to say. And then I watch you putting lessons on the wall, and then I hear you trying to make sense of it all. I wanna ask you if you think I’m just a clown, but I’ll go to the bathroom, get a drink, and walk around.

I ain’t learning nothing in this class. Can I please get the hall pass? All I need’s for you to call on me. I’d gladly accept that apology.

I got sent to the social worker because I’ve got a habit of speaking when others are trying to speak. And now I think I’ll get myself a referral because I left the building seeking what she told me to seek. I went to Manhattan where the towers shine like gold, and I thought of your classroom, where my chair sits empty and cold. What was it I wanted as the 5 went rattling down the tracks? When I absconded, did you notice that I never came back?

I ain’t learning nothing in this class. Can I please get the hall pass? All I need’s for you to call on me. I’d gladly accept that apology.
