The Lyrics
NOT a true story
I'm failing away
Getting nothing better than Cs and Ds
Flunked biology
Gotta raise my grade to at least a B
I'm bored in the classroom, yes I'm so bored
I'll get a bad mark on, my book report
And I'll try, teacher, I'll try
To get it done
I hate chemistry
Detentions every day, make me want to scream
I'm doing so bad
I think of older days, and the grades I had
I used to do better, than I'm doing now
But somehow I dropped down, I don't know how
But as far as homework goes... I'll get it done
A gathering of homework appeared upon my desk
These papers make me want to mope around, and then I said
I am failing away, failing away
I'm getting Fs and Ds
Failing away, failing away
You can't do worse than me!
I thought my work was finished, but to my surprise
The teachers gave me more books to read and summarize
I am failing away, failing away
I'm getting Fs and Ds
Failing away, failing away
You can't do worse than me!
Getting nothing better than Cs and Ds
Flunked biology
Gotta raise my grade to at least a B
I'm bored in the classroom, yes I'm so bored
I'll get a bad mark on, my book report
And I'll try, teacher, I'll try
To get it done
I hate chemistry
Detentions every day, make me want to scream
I'm doing so bad
I think of older days, and the grades I had
I used to do better, than I'm doing now
But somehow I dropped down, I don't know how
But as far as homework goes... I'll get it done
A gathering of homework appeared upon my desk
These papers make me want to mope around, and then I said
I am failing away, failing away
I'm getting Fs and Ds
Failing away, failing away
You can't do worse than me!
I thought my work was finished, but to my surprise
The teachers gave me more books to read and summarize
I am failing away, failing away
I'm getting Fs and Ds
Failing away, failing away
You can't do worse than me!

I thought this one was okay. Great pacing, but the rest was just okay.
I thought it was "just okay" too. Guess I don't write my best work over the weekends.
Not too shabby. Great parody idea for a great Styx song.
