Detention Lyrics by Detelj

HIgh School

2016

[Verse 1]
Teacher, teacher, leave me alone
This bitch like Maltida meets Helga
I’m feeling like Gerald and I’m high playing Zelda
Getting these phone calls and yelled at
What I meant to say is
This place just a game, you just a boss
This my education, these are my terms
And then you lose, suck my dick and get lost
I just wanna learn but this place prohibits me
You think that you’re great, you’re really just admitting
You a guide to this life, not God or an entity
You’ll probably remember me as edgy and sexy (okay)
Like that one girl Lexi who went anorexic
Fingers in her throat, esophagus stretching
Breaking her heart just to keep her protected (Jesus Christ)
Back to my point, the system you wrecked
With standardized testing and no real life lessons
School got depressing cause you took life and pressed it on books
Look, that’s not how it works, nah (work, work)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (Hey!)
I’m a teach about life and your mind
Psychology bores me but still I’ll get by
If success a gown and a paper then still I’ll get mine
(I'll still get mine)
Unh not before I start locking these doors
Not before you start calling me for ransom orders, acts of kindness
Cause history has taught me through acts of violence
My permanent changes are made
(Made, made, made, made, made)
Sucks doesn’t it
Who’s fault is that?
This through the eyes of the dead
Cause in high school, I was like them
This for the kid at his desk with the sweats
With the stress on his chest
Cause he’s living his life and trying his best
So get the fuck off his back

[Outro]
Just please don’t sit on my glasses
Please don’t sit on my glasses
