Dont you think that Im bound to react now?
My fingers definitely turning to black now
Maybe Ill put my live on ice
And teach myself, maybe thatll be nice

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now
Maybe Ill learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand

Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
Im practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Maybe Ill put my live on ice
And teach myself, maybe thatll be nice

Listen master can I ask you a question
Is it the fingers, or the brain
That youre teaching this lesson?
Maybe Ill put my live on ice
And teach myself, maybe thatll be nice
