Atrophy - Slipped Through The Cracks Lyrics
At the age of 15 your life is defined, it's measured in ounces and gramsThe wisdom of ages is soon pushed away for a crystal that's purchased in dramsNo time for book learning, the street is your school, it teaches a lesson that's realYou shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents, the only thing real is the dealChorus:Words on a page, they're so hard to readThe will to learn, it's not in your creedWhy should I care, I reeally can't seeThe teaching of man, they mean nothing to meSports is the answer that's what you've been told,it's the only way you'll succeedA ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook,it's the only tool that you'll needHistory and math are soon pushed away by the glory bestowed by a sportThe classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated,you live by the rules of the courtRepeat chorusSolo: SkowronSolo: LykinsAlthough things aren't perfect, they're trying their best,the choice is left up to youResist the temptation of the easy way out,the promises made just aren't trueYou've made your decision have given up tryingand now there is no turning backAnother statistic for our failing system,another that's slipped through the cracksRepeat chorus
