about

A song about standardized testing and how those numbers are the only measure of a person's worth.

lyrics

How your age is burdening,
topped with multicolored strings.
And every word your mentors screamed
they filled you up.

How we loved you then much more.
Loved you more than they’d allow.
Love that boosted exam scores
to let you drink from sacred plastic cups.

But in the morning, please remind us of your name.
In the quest for these certificates
you all look much the same.
And in the morning, can we count on your support
to repay us for our services?
Just what you can afford at this time.

How your age is burdening,
and all the world your kindling dry.
So when you set this world on fire
don’t burn me up or feed me to the lions.
