I HAVE TO GO TO "TORTURE TOWN" FOR "LEARNING"

Dedicated to chernobylvictim302

I have to go to "Torture Town" for "learning".

At least, that's what they call it at my school…

Don't want a test, that's oh-so-standardized.

I want meaningful classes that will make me very wise!

I have to go to "Torture Town" for "learning".

I certainly do mind this. Now, do you?

We have to do homework that makes us blue.

Why can't we do it in class? That's the EASY thing to do!

I can see me now on every school day, trudging down the stairs.

There's no joy and no surprise when I open up my eyes,

Because there is no hero standing there.

I have to go to "Torture Town" for "learning".

At least, that's what they call it at my school…

No rubric charts or dull syllabuses,

I only like INTERESTING COURSES,

Of which our school does offer paltry few!

I say dissent refines civilization;

Teacher says all I need is more ed-u-ca-ti-on.

There's lots of room for that when I get to college,

But until then I'm stuck with this shallow high-school mirage!

I can see me now on every school day, trudging down the stairs.

There's no joy and no surprise when I open up my eyes,

Because there is no hero standing there.

I have to go to "Torture Town" for "learning".

At least, that's what they call it at my school…

No rubric charts or dull syllabus-us-es,

I only like INTERESTING COURSES-ES,

Of which our school does offer paltry few!
