[Verse 1]
Chalk outlines circle the classroom tile
Bells cut short every juvenile smile
The lecture slides pile file after file
Minds behind desks march single‑file
[Chorus]
Another brick stuffed into the pile
Blank report cards stacked guile on guile
Tear up the homework, toss it to the aisle
Learning our worth seems extra‑trial
[Verse 2]
Hallways ring with chalk‑white spines
Plastic ID lanyards tag the lines
Sweaters conceal the hidden mines
At the final bell, detention confines
