Lyrics
[Verse 1: CG5]
I go to school and get a corrupted education
The time I spent here's left me yearning for vacation
These notebooks that I seek,
They are my key to liberty
[Tuba Beat Drop]
I think the teacher might be somewhat psychopathic
Can't even figure out his basic mathematics
Incomprehensible, close to impossible
And as I get his problems incorrect, he directs
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
I hear every door you open
And I know just where you're goin'!
You're failing!
Again and again
My ruler's locked and loaded with my ulterior motives!
Think you can make it to the weekend?
Better get out while you ca-a-a-an!
Get out while you ca-a-an!
[Verse 2: CG5]
The retributive rhythm of the metronomic master
It echoes through the halls, I think it's getting faster! [Caleb Hyles screams “FASTER!” at the same time.]
Trying to get ahead but I just get detention
Each step is filled with dread, he's paying close attention!
Freedom sounds so sublime (Sublime)
But now it's sweeping time (Sweeping time)
And as I do my very best, he still says!
[Chorus 2, Sinister: Caleb Hyles]
I hear every door you open
Did you say my system's broken?
Pathetic that you can't understand! Yeah!
Everything you're doin’ brings you closer to your ruin!
Don't think there ain't no consequences
Get out while you still ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-an!
[Bridge/Verse 3, Piano Only, no percussion: CG5]
Oh, I remember pre-school…
Back when we always played!
It's dire times like these, I wish I could've stayed…
At least I get to jump rope!
But it's just not the same…
[Slowly distorting] She stops me in my tracks and it makes me go insane….
[Slow building from piano: CG5]
He gets closer...
And closer...
And closer!
[Beat Drop and Bridge: Caleb Hyles (Exclaiming)]
Oh!
Oh!
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me!
Me-e-e-e-e!
Me, me, (Me!)
That's me
[CG5 & Caleb Hyles sing together to make a harmony]
Oh!
Oh!
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me!
Me-e-e-e-e!
[Chorus 3/Piano Only: CG5]
He hears every door I open
And he knows just what I'm doing
And I can't start this over again
[Beat Drop]
His ruler's locked and loaded with his ulterior motives
I'll never make it to the weekend
[Caleb Hyles]: Get out while you still can!
[Beat Drop and Outro Part 1: Caleb Hyles]
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me-e-e-e!
Oh!
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me-e-e-e!
Oh!
[CG5]: (Stay...! Stay away from me!)
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me-e-e-e!
Oh!
That's me, that's me, that's me, that's me-e-e-e! (Oh!)
It's me!
