Song | Slipped Through the Cracks |
Artist | Atrophy |
Album | Violent by Nature |
作曲 : Lykins | |
At the age of 15 your life is defined, it's measured in ounces and grams | |
The wisdom of ages is soon pushed away for a crystal that's purchased in drams | |
No time for book learning, the street is your school, it teaches a lesson that's real | |
You shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents, the only thing real is the deal | |
Chorus: Words on a page, they're so hard to read | |
The will to learn, it's not in your creed | |
Why should | |
I care, I reeally can't see | |
The teaching of man, they mean nothing to me | |
Sports is the answer that's what you've been told, it's the only way you'll succeed | |
A ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook, it's the only tool that you'll need | |
History and math are soon pushed away by the glory bestowed by a sport | |
The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated, you live by the rules of the court | |
Repeat chorus | |
Solo: Skowron | |
Solo: Lykins | |
Although things aren't perfect, they're trying their best, the choice is left up to you | |
Resist the temptation of the easy way out, the promises made just aren't true | |
You've made your decision have given up trying and now there is no turning back | |
Another statistic for our failing system, another that's slipped through the cracks | |
Repeat chorus |
