No Child Left Behind

from Absolute Fun by SeaKings

lyrics

The air is heavy
I can feel your eyes widen, open
But I can't equate your pain
Empathy only carries me so far

Your daddy's walked out
But they say you're acting out

I can't believe you've come this far
His incarceration won't leave you walled in
Four walls, white halls will not shape you
Hang in there, young buck, it won't be long

Your teacher says that you just don't want to learn
She goes home to the suburbs

I can't believe they cannot see it
Won't they put on your secondhand shoes?
Eat some garbage for breakfast
Do the hair of your baby sister

Wait for open arms
Wait for someone to shape you
What if nobody comes?
What if this is as good as it gets?

I can't believe they haven't changed the system
They might feed you but they'll let you do
I wish you the best
It'll be you against the world your whole life
