Tick, Tock.
60 minutes on the clock
Tick, Tock.
Put your GPA on lock
Tick, Tock.
Simply change your fate
Tick, Tock.
Or lose your life to a class you hate
Tick, Tock.
Keep your nerves locked away
Tick, Tock.
You dreams have gone astray
Tick, Tock.
The faster you write
Tick, Tock.
Set your sight
Tick, Tock.
The better you score
Tick, Tock.
Do less or more
Yet still you're not-
Time's up.
