I asked out loud, the standard method for engagement
And most kids understand, that's fine
But all these years in, I've grown more than just impatient
With those who try
To drive my ass nuts, I don't like that, true
Because that's detention all week for you
Sick of smart-alec class clowns, my last nerve has been frayin'

Don't put hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
I'm sure you think it's funny in the moment but you'll regret the string of low D's
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up

Can't not roll my eyes when certain hands get lifted
Just stare until they go back down
I'd love to give 'em chances but I have my limits
Don't test them out, oh-oh-oh
Just covered this stuff, so I know that you
Heard the answers, you're not just "real confused"

Don't put hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
Your work's been fine in projects and assignments, this gibb'rish is on purpose clearly
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up

Happy if you got it right, let me hear it now
Or close or even wrong, that's fine, let me hear it
Don't put your hands up to make things up
Don't put your hands up to make things up

Don't put hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
Try your best or listen to the right answers, might just ignore you if you push me
Don't put your hands up to make things up, alright? Don't make things up
