MaeThePirate - Fuck the feds

To Rate
Verse 1
What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I think I wanna be happy isn't that enough?
I think youth is overrated, overrated (overrated)
'Cause whoever asked to be graded? (to be graded)
Do you define my worth by a testing curve?
By a testing curve? (by a testing curve)
Throw the homework out the window
And smoke a jay
There's so much more to life than our fucking grades

Chorus
So fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
So fuck the fеds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rulеs, yea

Verse 2
Are drugs really bad? (Are drugs really bad?)
I thought they had some for people that are sad
My friends take lithium (my friends take lithium)
Some take magnesium (some take magnesium)
Over the counter like a pack gum (over the counter like a pack gum)
Why does it matter? (why does it matter?)
How they got it (how they got it)
I'm happy they feel fine (I'm happy they feel fine)
It seems trivial (it seems trivial)
To get their medicine (to get their medicine)
They have to cross state lines (they have to cross state lines)
Chorus
So suck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
So fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules, yea

Verse 3
They determined my success
By my SAT test
Never really had a choice
They stifle every unique voice
But I found an escape in the music
No thanks to you
Tell me to quiet down
Tell me be too realistic, sure

Chorus
So fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
So fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
Bridge
American education, brought to you
By private corporations
Oo, oo
How can we expect to ever feel free
When we're worshipping the Gods of currency?
Ah

Chorus
So fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
So, fuck the feds
Fuck the feds
And fuck the rules
