Here's to a sad time or so they say
Of studying and homework all kids must obey
They say this building is not for me
All the tests, quizzes, lectures; no time to be free

Often they feel like something's not right here
They don't belong here, why are they still here?
Often they feel like misfits all around
And it's just so profound, will they ever get out?

In a little while they're complaining of out now
In a little while they're complaining of out now
They often complain of having to stay now
In a little while they're complaining of out now, hurry
They're complaining of out now, hurry

The other half of class there's a daydream
There's distractions, nice weather making them want to scream
And there's a place that they'd rather be
But right now they are trapped 'cause they're pulling a "D"

Often they feel like something's not right here
They don't belong here, why are they still here?
Often they feel like misfits all around
And it's just so profound, will they ever get out?

In a little while they're complaining of out now
In a little while they're complaining of out now
They often complain of having to stay now
In a little while they're complaining of out now

Often they feel so left behind
As they stumble and crawl to climb that steep incline
Maybe in time they can finally see
Once completed and done they will finally be free

Often they feel like something's not right here
They don't belong here, why are they still here?
Often they feel like misfits all around
And it's just so profound, will they ever get out?

In a little while they're complaining of out now
In a little while they're complaining of out now
They often complain of having to stay now
In a little while they're complaining of out now, hurry

They're complaining of out now, hurry
They're complaining of out now, hurry
They're complaining of out now, hurry, hurry, hurry
