Don't cut me, punch me, just let me go

Into the nurse's office where I float away

I'm pale as the loose-leaf paper they grow

From hollowing out all my lungs in the snow

Yeah, I'm coughing, I'm bleeding

Band-Aids won't heal it

'Cause they hate me, so I'm fakin'

All of-of this so they take-take me

Take me home, home, home

Give me that pink slip of permission

This is old, old, old

I'm tired of wishing I was ditching

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Teacher, can I sit right there?

This bitch behind me is cutting my hair

"No, just sit your ass down at the chalkboard, you stare"

I faked up a seizure and left then and there

Yeah, I'm coughing, I'm bleeding

Band-Aids won't heal it

'Cause they hate me, so I'm fakin'

All of-of this so they take-take me

Take me home, home, home

Give me that pink slip of permission

This is old, old, old

I'm tired of wishing I was ditching

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Take me home, home, home

Give me that pink slip of permission

This is old, old, old

I'm tired of wishing I was ditching

Home, home, home

Old, old, old
