Art Rush - Student Concession

Breaking out in acne and never doing work
Sitting in the library listening to Bjork on the weekends (she helped a lot)
Coming to terms with who I had to be
Mandatory questioning of sexuality
Turns out I was straight just fyi

Teachers push you round
for pushing arounds sake
You worked hard in Year 6
but now it seems so fake
And for the first time
you realise that they
lied to you all along
What the hell was I scared of anyway
A lot of life's like that

Looking up and counting down
We can beat this corporate town
No matter what they tell you
this shit ain't real life
It's only a couple years
then we're gone

They'll pump you full of fear
of the school certificate
but all you gotta do is crack 50%
and you'll be fine
Every year they tell you that
next year it gets harder
But there's only so much
that a boy can believe
So if you're still in school,
don't get caught up in the hype
On the last day of the year
you'll realise I was right

And for the last time,
you'll realise that they
lied to you all along
What the hell were you scared of anyway
A lot of life's like that

Looking up and counting down
We can beat this corporate town
No matter what they tell you
this shit ain't real life
It's only a couple years more
then we're gone
And then we're gone

It's alright, it's alright
A lot of life's like that
What the hell were you scared of anyway
A lot of life's like that
