No one seems to care; no one really listens If you don’t play football, baseball, or basketball Nobody cares. Most teachers don’t know me And I don’t know them. We need orange jumpsuits You can’t ever talk to the principal; He’s too busy, and if you do, he finds Something wrong with you, and gives you a sermon Maybe his Jesus loves me, but he sure doesn’t The assistant principal doesn’t know us Or care about us; she just screams at us Unless you’re an athlete. She likes athletes Everybody just seems so uncomfortable Or like they don’t want to be here… “WHY AREN’T YOU IN CLASS?!  WHO’S YOUR TEACHER?!”

"Why Aren't You in Class? Who's Your Teacher?"
No one seems to care; no one really listens If you don’t play football, baseball, or basketball Nobody cares. Most teachers don’t know me And I don’t know them. We need orange jumpsuits You can’t ever talk to the principal; He’s too busy, and if you do, he finds Something wrong with you, and gives you a sermon Maybe his Jesus loves me, but he sure doesn’t The assistant principal doesn’t know us Or care about us; she just screams at us Unless you’re an athlete. She likes athletes Everybody just seems so uncomfortable Or like they don’t want to be here… “WHY AREN’T YOU IN CLASS?!  WHO’S YOUR TEACHER?!”
