lyrics

Don’t hold yourself back
Your time to shine
So what if you make them all look like swine?
Some will be jealous of your discipline
If they ask your secret, you say, “it’s by design”

Group them by age
Not by their strengths
With this arrangement, you’ll
Go to great lengths
Just to make them feel that
They all belong
Looking back on this, it
All seems to wrong

Don’t hold yourself back
Your time to shine
So what if you make them all look like swine?
Some will be jealous of your discipline
If they ask your secret, you say, “it’s by design”

In our current system
We’re sure to miss them
All of their brilliance
Dropped at the door
What purpose serves
These menial tests?
Seldom will rote knowledge
Help them the best

Don’t hold yourself back
Your time to shine
So what if you make them all look like swine?
Some will be jealous of your discipline
If they ask your secret, you say, “it’s by design”

Due to this decrepit
Ancient system
Countless young people’s schools
Will give them scars
If you manage to escape
This murky con
Don’t be afraid to go
Higher than the stars

Don’t hold yourself back
Your time to shine
So what if you make them all look like swine?
Some will be jealous of your discipline
If they ask your secret, you say, “it’s by design”
