lirik lagu ballad of a public school boy – andrew xie
[verse 1]
i walk in on my first day in this new prison
can’t jump for joy too high
or else the ceiling tiles’ll go missing
[pre*chorus 1]
metal detectors and security guards
instead of textbooks from this century
or whiteboard markers
i still crouch under my desk
hours and hours without rest
til i get rescued by a rifle to my head saying
[chorus]
“yes, you signed up for this
it’s not because we’re careless
promise we could care less
if we tried and tried a thousand times
we’d fail nine hundred ninеty*nine”
[verse 2]
who am i kidding, we need a new football stadium
forgеt the theater and the teachers
it’s not like we really needed them
[pre*chorus 2]
even if i fail, move me up another year
i can’t always be your problem
graduation’s just so near and
i don’t blame my teachers
how could they be leaders?
when half their students aren’t even readers
and still they say
[chorus]
“yes, you signed up for this
it’s not because we’re careless
promise we could care less
if we tried and tried a thousand times
we’d fail nine hundred ninety*nine”
[bridge]
oh, i hit my peak at seventeen
and if i fail i won’t succeed
oh, there’s forty other kids in class
so my questions just never get asked
can someone help me?
we need attention in the classroom
don’t just stick us on zoom
help me
my richer friends don’t have these problems
why don’t we just solve them
[chorus]
oh, we didn’t sign up for this
it’s not because we’re careless
can’t afford to care less
we try and try a thousand times
and fail nine hundred ninety*nine
