I was a hero in school, I got only straight A's.
And familiar letters I loved to restate.
I deciphered the books like a code as I tried hard to wring
What might be called a spring.
Only once I attempted to set school ablaze.
But the teacher found out, threw the matches away.
I just wanted the flame and some heat, I couldn't wait anymore
When the spring's gonna come.
Day already turned dark, teacher sounded a bell.
I was running from school like a bat out of hell.
Teacher ran after me to conceal outcome
When the spring's gonna come.
My briefcase's in a pool and I've got a black eye.
Teacher's sly as a fox, he deceived me but why?
I have torn all my notes, you can give me an F,
Only know that from me you won't get far away.
