School Nights / Outro
I used to go to my counselor looking for some guidance But all that he could tell me was that I was trying to fight it Didn't pay attention, maybe I just didn't care But I knew there's something better waiting for me out there And bell after bell I would sit there and listen My voice would be carried by a lack of attention Impartial to a desk, I would tuck my knees in Count out the seconds until the class ends And somewhere in America, trying to keep his head up, A kid is being told that he isn't good enough Still recites the pledge to the land of the free But the rocket's red glare is still aiming at me And I was not the only one Higher education did this diamonds for the broke ones And I was not the only one Trying to change the world, but my test scores weren't high enough Find it in myself, stuck in the way of someone else Keeping track of dreams I've lost From Tyler Marks on my friend's arms Gotta find it in myself, stuck in the way of someone else All I need to set me free This cap and gown they consume me Graduated in white, never felt like I deserved it Got by on wit, just to make a statement about the current state of the system Cause friction, present a proper depiction cause all you get is fiction I don't preach hate, but they still berate Other kids call me gay cause I couldn't even think straight But I'd rather be crooked than walking straight Lines in a place where by nothing too hard to find I tried the safe route, going to college But somehow outside is where I gained the knowledge That a paper on the wall won't fill the void and it doesn't guarantee that I'll be employed Half of my friends couldn't go They said forget about colleges A middle class white kid trying to get a scholarship? 'Hell nah' Cause the system is broken, and it's failed all of us but that's left unspoken Find it in myself, stuck in the way of someone else Keeping track of dreams I've lost From Tyler Marks on my friend's arms Gotta find it in myself, stuck in the way of someone else All I need to set me free This cap and gown, they consume me Everybody's got a fight Everybody's got a chance, right? So why do we feel so low, Even when we hold our heads high? ('Cause these rich girls with white pearls and gold on their sleeves) Everybody's got a fight Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com (Outside of my headlights and these roads make believe I swear) Everybody's got a chance, right?
