What I Wanted

I got the best marks

And excelled in that class

And I mastered all their useless tasks

With all my flags flying

And yet I was dying

To finally get a pass

I was good at not doing what I wanted

I was good at not doing what I wanted

I tried to be arty

I went to the party

Though I didn't want to see Pauline

This turtleneck sweater

Won't make me feel better

Yet it has never dawned on me

I was good at not doing what I wanted

I was good at not doing what I wanted
