8:00 in the morning, I don't want to go to class
And it's only there that time drags on, free time goes too fast.
And the homework is piling on, and my breaks are all for naught,
Studying for hours on end makes my mind like a robot.
Sitting through 50 minutes of talk, I get way too easily bored.
I'll paint my eyelids to look awake, just remind me not to snore.

After one class alone, we've turned to drones, watching clocks though they won't go.
We're in aural pain, and once again we know.

We get so little time to rest, and that's from 1 to 7 A.M.
Get some breakfast, then some knowledge to binge into your brain.
Beyond our brain capacity, Beyond any motivation,
Is the info we're supposed to gain.

So far today, I've been working all day
As a student slash college homework pawn.
To get the grades, I have to sacrifice my social life
Through these busy college days, I'll carry on.

As the semester progresses, and a school break's drawing nigh,
Someone has a project planned to occupy our time.
One class expects ongoing homework, and another some project thing.
I'm going back and forth between the two like a mass on a spring.

Though it might be rough, if I work enough, It will be done sometime
And possibly, I'll be free for one night.

To land the job of my dreams, I'll go through all this cruelty.
At least it helps to realize that I am not alone.
Inside a box I am confined, lengthening my work time,
Blocking out the world from my little zone.

So far today, I've been working all day
As a student slash college homework pawn.
To get the grades, I have to sacrifice my social life
Through these busy college days, I'll carry on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Now here I am with exams on my hands.
I've studied hard, but I don't understand.
I'll make it through the tests getting the best grade that I can
Assuming my brain doesn't go Kablam!

So far today, I've been working all day
As a student slash college homework pawn.
To get the grades, I have to sacrifice my social life
Through these busy college days, I'll carry on.
