Senioritis

I may be kidding
School's just babysitting
I knew people in AP classes knitting
so tedious
Homework is tell major lies
or plagiarize encyclopedias
so boring
Fresh-faced teachers
want to tickle 'em
but a test-based curriculum
excludes exploring
I'll let a mystery gas
out of my blistery ass
Just to disrupt the misery of history class
And to entertain your tender brain
When your pain is the same
as a fender bender with a train
Analyze the engines
If you gotta go to the rhododendrons
cut class then serve detentions
Say toodle-oo to the trimmed poodles who
will grow up to be the adults you now hate,
I know what's futile too
Like throwing a spear at Choate
I'm not here to gloat
I want to be used as your yearbook quote
Abolish class rank, pour sugar in its gas tank
Weighted grades really yank my ass crank
And stop up my leak hole
English and autoshop should be equal
Anyway an A is a weak goal
So stultifying
It's hard to hold off dying
I'm spying on a lobbyist
It's obvious
Double teachers' salaries and hire smarter
Discard the farters who only inspire fire starters
What is the meaning of C.L.A.S.S.?
Is it a Conspiracy Levelled At Sleepy Students trying to
pass?

Make like a whirlybird and graduate early
Word or pull all the stops out
Make the proprietors of a mom and pop shop's
eyes pop out and drop out
When I yawn it's hard to hold in drool
drawn dreams of a molten pool
Of magma rock raining Ragnarok
On the whole damn school
Scenes of the old and fool
ish and possibly cruel
Administrators being told the Golden Rule
While rolled in stool
Superficial superintendant
Repainting the facade and bannister
I'm going to switch your contact lens vial
for a Drosophilia Melanogaster cannister

I found college awkward
another teacher, same old chalkboard
I felt I was shifting bawkward
when I expected to shoot forward
Could I possibly have been more bored?
Realistically, a stressful sideways
Still skipping readings
still waiting for Fridays
School was so damn boring
It left me colder than the o-ring
Which would not expand and destroyed the USS Challenger
in 1986
An overhaul is long overdue
I'm 0 for 2
If so are you
Catch The Fever from Wallace Shawn
To destroy school 'til all is gone
