Look at him and go out on a limb, Or am I suppose to use a three by five? Slop on the mascara, Know the difference between "por" and "para". Go to this school, so they can feel secure; Be clean, be pure. Starve- you can't be fat. Fail because you didn't follow format. "I don't care how well you draw, Just go to Harvard and study law." They'll lay out your life step-by-step, And yes, you will be every teachers' pet. I don't care what you do; Be cut-throat, be cruel, Anything to be: This cookie cutter you made for me.

Look at him and go out on a limb, Or am I suppose to use a three by five? Slop on the mascara, Know the difference between "por" and "para". Go to this school, so they can feel secure; Be clean, be pure. Starve- you can't be fat. Fail because you didn't follow format. "I don't care how well you draw, Just go to Harvard and study law." They'll lay out your life step-by-step, And yes, you will be every teachers' pet. I don't care what you do; Be cut-throat, be cruel, Anything to be: This cookie cutter you made for me.
