lyrics
What don't you get?
What you an idiot?
Bang your head a little harder, Maybe then your answers will come
words keep changing
letters rearranging
But you can't keep using that same old tired
Same old tired excuse
Scholastic spastic, send him in the back of the room
Little broken boy, we did everything we could for you
No child left behind, If you shove them under the rug
No matter what you do, you’ll always be the boy in the back of the room
10,000 hours just to be fine
Just trying to set a broken mind
Locked away by an IEP that can't seem to fix me
Try to prove them wrong
But It's the same old song
Cause I might be special, but in all the wrong wrong ways
Scholastic spastic, send him in the back of the room
Little broken boy, we did everything we could for you
No child left behind, If you shove them under the rug
No matter what you do, you’ll always be the boy in the back of the room
No matter what you say
Or who you think you are
No matter how hard you try
Or how far you think you came
No matter where you go
There's nowhere you can hide
Cause you'll always be the boy
You'll always be the boy in the back of the room
Scholastic spastic, send him in the back of the room
Little broken boy, we did everything we could for you
No child left behind, If you shove them under the rug
No matter what you do, you’ll always be the boy in the back of the room
