The Lyrics
Why do I have to make this stupid speech?
Seven days to practice, but I just can't hack it
Wish that I could read it off the sheet
Cause there's no way that my mind will recall it all, it's madness
Blah, blah, blah, forgotten
Blah, blah, blah, I can't recall it
Blah, blah, blah, it's hell
Blah, blah, blah
I'm sorry, I can't recite, recite
This gigantic monologue, not how my brain works
Recite, recite, not a chance that any of the thing will come out right
And no amount of trainin' will fix my problem brainin'
Because I can't, like, recite, recite
This ain't a thing that I can do
It won't be accomplished, I don't care much you want it
Might be worth half of my grade, true
But that's more proof that it's bollocks, uh
Blah, blah, blah, forgotten
Blah, blah, blah, I can't recall it
Blah, blah, blah, it's hell
Blah, blah, blah
I told you, I can't recite, recite
This damn speech is way too long, must you be a jerk?
Recite, recite, told us all that rote memorisation wasn't right
Why must I be forced through this? No-one else needs to, bullshit
Because I can't, like, recite, recite, I can't say all this shite
No-o-o, c'mon
No-o-o, ain't gonna happen
No-o-o, please stop askin' now
No-o-o, woo
What's this rot you want me repeatin'?
I can't make heads or tails of this now
This is nonsense, utter bullshit, dude
Can't say this without laughin' out loud
One more factor against this speechin':
This ain't English that you're teachin' now
This is friggin' Maths, so what's weird, dude
Is this can't be the syllabus, doubt it
Seems to me-e like you're forcin' this do-own cause
You hate me, du-ude, pretty sure that that's fro-owned on
You're a teacher, fairly sure you're supposed
To not be a chode to one person
No-o-o, c'mon
No-o-o, you're an asshole, man
No-o-o, so refusin' now
No-o-o
Recite, recite, gonna lodge a big complaint, cause I don't deserve
This shite, this shite, at least I'll have a fun story to tell folks tonight
My education's wasted since your reason is baseless
Because I can't, like, recite, recite
Told you, I can't, like, recite, recite
You asshole, I can't, like, recite, recite this total shite
No-o-o, c'mon
No-o-o, there's no damn point to it
No-o-o, all the other kids
No-o-o, agree it's bullshit
No-o-o (in fact, after takin' a gander)
No-o-o (at this sheet, there's more bullshit I've found)
No-o-o (this reads like your lectures, I think you)
No-o-o (want me to do your job for you now)
No-o-o (there's no words for this kind of bullshit)
No-o-o (except "you're fi-ired" once word gets out)
No-o-o (that you're passin' your work to kids, dude)
No-o-o (think that you'll keep employment? I doubt it)
