6 Years ≠ Eternity

It's not how long you’ve been there
Last time I checked, 6 years ain’t eternity
I get it, you’re bored!
Go solve some equations off the board!

Make it sound so cruel, so bad
Insist that you’re going mad
You’re the ones who signed your life away, leaving it way behind!
What’s with the sudden change of mind?

What an ungrateful lot you are!
Did you really assume you could make it far?
You know, there do exist fates far, far worse
Is that something you’d like to rehearse?!

Is it not common sense to you?
A tradition so tried and true
It doesn’t need no paper work
You lose the game, you lose the world!

It’s not how long you’ve been there
Last time I checked, 6 years ain’t eternity
I get it, you're bored!
Go solve some equations off the board!

Make it sound so cruel, so bad
Insist that you’re going mad
You're the ones who signed their lives away, left it all way behind!

What’s with the sudden change of mind?
What’s with this yearning for outside?
It's only just a bit of math!
You’re yet to finish your exams!!

But I can't go back there
I can't go back there
I'm not going back there

No, I can't go back there
I can't go back there
I'm not going back there!

These corridors
Are built for those
Defeated by a count of votes

They scream you can!
And so you must!
It’s what is just
And so you will!

It’s not how long you’ve been there
Last time I checked, 6 years ain’t eternity
I get it, you're bored!
Go solve some equations off the board!

Your fates are sealed by algebra
Surrounded by simulacra
As your teacher, won’t take disrespect, I've heard enough from you

I do believe you’ve homework due
