Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


You call it homework,
I call it trash.
You study for your SAT's,
I draw all over my math.
You pay attention in history,
I sleep it away.
While you're stuck in the past,
I'll move onto the next day.
You tell me I won't make it,
Take a seat, kickback and watch me.
I'll get everything I want,
Keep focused, and you will see.
School isn't for me,
I've never been one to waste a day and study.
The teachers rant on about my refusal to complete an assignment,
But when the sun is still up, playtime is remanent.
Sure, I suffer a lot of detentions,
Which I never attend and then get suspensions.
But that just ensures that I have a few days to be free,
My perception proves school isn't for me.
You make a study guide,
I construct a paper airplane.
You plan for the next days test,
While I play with an origami crane.
You're solving for x in algebra,
I have no problem at all.
You'll waste countless hours attempting to find the solution,
While I'm at a party having a ball.
You tell me I won't make it,
Take a seat, kickback and watch me.
I'll get everything I want,
Keep focused, and you will see.
School isn't for me,
I've never been one to waste a day and study.

Curse my ways, tell me I will never get out of this cage,
So far I haven't let myself down.
I'll enjoy seeing your face when they call my name on stage,
Applause's are welcomed, but I prefer to see your speechless faces make no sound.
I'm packing up and leaving this state,
Moving onto much bigger things.
Thanks to everyone who showed me a little bit of hate,
You helped me achieve everything.
