Some Lovely Parting Gifts |
| Gonna wipe this crowbar clean |
| And pry off my face |
| I’ll roll up my sleeves and dig around |
| Until i find the stains |
| And shampoo my soiled brains |
| Old yellow gauze, a rusty scalpel |
| And some cheap whiskey |
| The tools for this home remedy |
| Students stuffed in classroom pockets |
| But something’s out of place |
| Words are leaking out his sockets |
| Words he was supposed to memorize |
| Better get the compass, this one needs redirection |
| Soon they plugged me with ambition |
| Pulp from textbooks soaked in fiction |
| I feasted on competition |
| Congratulations, you’re this years champion |
| Cue the announcer, please tell him what he’s won |
| Letters validate the tests |
| Numbers to see who’s the best |
| Now I understand that life’s just a contest |
| Black mortarboard, a wooden ruler |
| And papers marked with A’s |
| The tools that taught me to think straight |
| Now I don’t call out the answers |
| I’m the host, I ask the questions |
| Raise your hand, who knows the answer? |
| Be the first to press your buzzer |
| Watch my eyes as you call out the answer |
| See them twinkle as i smile |
| Watch the scoreboard when you get the answer |
| Lights will flash and cymbals will crash |
| Confetti rains down from the sky |
| So tell him what he’s won |
| A lifetime on the run |
| Pursuing number one |
| Red grading pens |
| Gray chain-link fence |
| Mental detentions |
| The tools that left these stains |
