Waking in the morning at 6 am
Gotta brush my teeth gotta make my bed
Walking in the building at 7 am
I seem alive but I'm wishing I were dead
Didn't do my homework 'cause I got bored
Teacher's really angry so she sends my dad an email
He's gonna confiscate my skateboard
This is just why school is like a jail
And it's an epic fail
Teacher says I gotta write an essay
I'm not feelin' it so I say "no-way"
I dunno why I gotta do it
Seems to me like it's really stupid
Why write an essay 'bout Andrew Jackson
Why don't they teach us about filing taxes
I'm real upset, check the Richter scale
Get me outta here - school is like a jail
What the flip is a Celsius scale
Lunch tastes bad, Chess Club ain't rad
Graduation makes me glad
Forget physics, forget gym
Life will make you sink or swim
Lunch tastes bad, Chess Club ain't rad
Graduation makes me glad
You can either sink or swim
Or go straight down to hell
School is like a jail
School is like a jail
School is like a jail
School is like a jail
