about

I wrote this song right after coming back from summer break in 12th grade. High School is not a good place for developing minds. Also the way education works, at least in our country, doesn't really make sense and is based on an antiquated factory method. This song is just a rant essentially. Thanks for listening.

lyrics

G C F G
G C B D

Welcome back to the concrete box
Hope you enjoyed your break now we're puttin' on the locks
Here's a shitload of work, hope it's not too much of a shock.
They've got us back in this prison, But not for long.
They've got us back in this prison,
But we're gonna break out like King Kong
I'm tired of all these stupid monkeys who think they're tough,
An hour is the same room and I've already had enough.
Being around all of these people, it's like wearing mental hand cuffs.
Fuck it's not even Friday
But when it comes you better watch out
Because I'm gonna scream and shout
IT'S FRIDAY! IT'S FRIDAY! IT'S FRIDAY!
I'm gonna leave and never come back
Except on Monday, I guess I'll have to come back
Because the courage to ditch, it's what I lack
But we've only got one more year of this shit
Until we can call it quits. Then we're off to college
Where we might actually gain some knowledge
Now I don't hate education, I just reject the notion
That we gotta work our ass off in High School
So we can work our ass off in college
So we can work our ass off at a nice desk job
So we can save up for retirement
and buy ourselves a lovely coffin
But I digress,
Because the point is I hate this stupid place
And it's all great big mess
They've got us back in this prison, but not for long.
They've got us back in this prison,
But we're gonna break out like King Kong
