The clock goes 'tick'
It's innards go 'tock'
I think I'm gonna throw up
Hope someone will show up
Before my life goes up
Side
Down
In this insane asylum
Try'n my best to find them
Poems in the sanctum
Edgar Poe would be frowning
But his corpse is drowning
The work is overkill
This is readicide!
The work is killing me!
"Gimme an A!"
 says the kid with a B

"Gimme a B!" 
says the kid with a C

"Gimme a C!" 
says the kid with a D 

"Give me what I deserve" 
says the kid with an E
