lyrics
Sitting on a stool
Cause I took a nap
Now I’m wearing a dunce cap
And I don’t know why I’m going to school
I stayed up all night
Worried to death
I was all out of breath
I was listening to my parents fight
Checkmarks by my name
On the chalkboard
If I get one more
Ah, I really don’t know why I came
I am called a brat
The kids tease me
I just can’t please them, see
I don’t like being called that
I paid attention
But I chewed some gum
So they checked another one
And now I have a detention
ISD
In School Detention, see
They are calling me a failure
Before they’ve seen my highest deed
Make me stay some more
Where I don’t want to be
Where I’m never, ever free
And I think I’m gonna start a war
Give me busy work
And waste all of my time
And tell me to be quiet
And your kind of teaching don’t work
I feel like a fool
Sitting on your stool
Sitting in your school
So I’m going to break your rule
I could get a gun
A deadly one
It’s the latest fashion
While drooling my tongue
I could shoot you while you run
And then shoot myself
So it’s too late for help
With a detention
But that doesn’t need to be done
Cause I will hitch a ride
I’ll leave town on my bike
I will leave tonight
And just hope that the Lord will provide
So it’s funny
When I think about how
They’re the ones who wanted to be
All the ones with the glory
By putting me down
And making me feel
Like a tramp in their town
Pretty soon they will see
That it’s everyone who’ll hear about me
