I remember when that grade was new
It was the first that I recall when the sky never seemed so blue
I chose my classes, but I couldn't pass them, at all
Coz every day when I tried for an "A," coz I failed, I'd always bawl!

Can't be done, can't be done
I don't have the skills to pass this grade
Can't be done, can't be done
More than I can handle
So then, is there any hope, is there any hope?
Should I just give up, now?
It's so difficult I really should give up
Good night

Then I realized the reason I bailed
This stupid class is just the reason I still failed
I chose another. I hope that I can pass this next test
But even though I had thought I had known, it seems that I just couldn't last

Can't be done, can't be done
Is this really all that I can do?
Can't be done, can't be done
All my effort ends with an "F"
So then, is there still no hope, is there still no hope?
Should I just give up, now?
It's so difficult but I will not give up
Good luck

It was hard but somehow I could get just this far
Then, that familiar teacher came and made this way too hard
With all that I had done and managed and everything I'd learned
I thought that my skills had advanced
But then I saw that stupid test that was there and didn't stand a chance
HEY...!

Can't be done, can't be done
I don't have the skills to pass this grade
Can't be done, can't be done
More than I can handle
So then, is there any hope, is there any hope?
Should I just give up, now?
No, I swore I never will give up

Can this be, can this be?
Is this really all that I can do?
It's too much. I can't win
I will fail the tenth grade
I will try to learn till victory and I!
Oh, oh, oh, HEY!

Is there any hope, is there any hope, Is there any hope, is there any hope?
Is there hope!?
I will never sleep, I will never sleep, till I pass the tenth grade
I will never sleep...!
