Lyrics

Let’s go!
Red pen bleeding all across the sheet
Another white flag of an institutional defeat
"Does not contribute to the masculine ideal"
"Expresses thoughts that are far too surreal"
Mr. Davis told me I was sliding down a slope
An introverted failure with a zero chance of hope
Because I wouldn't conform to his locker room club
Or join the standard adolescent social hub
Oh, I’m falling short of the curriculum line
Failing expectations that were never mine
You wanted a soldier, you wanted a clone
But I built a rebel on a throne of my own
Give me failing grades, give me an F for the night!
Because your version of wrong is my version of right!
I’m flunking your culture, I’m dropping your class
You can take your report card and shove it up your ass!
Yeah, I’m failing by design, and I feel so alive
In the wreckage of the system where the misfits thrive
They equate your worth to a letter on a card
While making sure the queer kid’s life is twice as hard
They turn a blind eye to the bruises on my arms
But sound the alarm for my independent charms
"He’s not fitting in, he’s a danger to the flock"
As they watch the bullies put my spirit in a stock
Well, I’m breaking the wood, I’m smashing the frame
And I’m never gonna answer to your corporate name
Oh, I’m falling short of the curriculum line
Failing expectations that were never mine
You wanted a soldier, you wanted a clone
But I built a rebel on a throne of my own
Give me failing grades, give me an F for the night!
Because your version of wrong is my version of right!
I’m flunking your culture, I’m dropping your class
You can take your report card and shove it up your ass!
Yeah, I’m failing by design, and I feel so alive
In the wreckage of the system where the misfits thrive
A is for Apathy, that’s what you taught.
B is for the Bullies that you never caught.
C is for Conforming to the boxes you made.
D is for the Darkness where my identity stayed.
But F...
F is for the Freedom that will never fade!
Yeah! I fail!
And I’ve never felt better.
Class dismissed forever.
