Round
Loud school bells
Loud hallways
Now that algebra’s over time to go kick some balls around
On a pitch of patchy green
As if the green I see doesn't already make me want to be a teen
Oh now it’s 3:30
Time to go help some vegetables eat their mush
While I give their ill-breed arms and legs a push
Great now I have a chewed prune splattered across my shirt
Oh it’s Jake wait no I don’t how to flirt
Move move homework and tests
Study study study
Don’t know the rest
Oh crap dinner time
Now’s the moment to be lectured of my crimes
“Go out more”
“Make friends”
“Volunteer more”
“Get a 100 on that test otherwise you didn't give your best”
We were told to be rounded
Do sports do well in school
Help prunes at an elderly home
We were told that we had to be perfect
And to deflect those from our lives that took us away from the values you imposed
But now I question
What if I want to be a square or a triangle?
And avoid being rounded
What if I wanted to help the druggies ?
Too much on their hands anyways
What if I wanted to do academics OR sports?
Mind you not and
They tell us that school and everything in life should be balanced
But they hold an expectation that we should...
Complete 12 hours of homework
72 of community service
60 of sports
Minimum requirements
Oh and go adventure make friends
This remains unlisted on their make amends
I was advised against being friends with Ashley
Because she said “let’s go play and do homework later”
Then you make me see that Ashley was trashley
And now it's time to go learn the numbers of pi
It’s time to go take a flight
Through the numbers of sine and cosine which apparently have much might
But now I can see clearly
This is the end of your reign
You regal dane
I will live my life and have adventures
No more prunes
Only sand dunes
Far away from here
This is where it ends
Oh it's 3:30
Time to go hassle monkeys and ride tsunami waves.
