I have to write a book report now On the author James Joyce I must make it through Ulysses Though it isn't by choice School makes us work so hard Much too much for a kid like me to take We have to study lots of physics E equals MC squared String theory, classical dynamics All the children are scared That's what we have to do And daily stress is messing up our lives I'm an eighth grader I'm an eighth grader I'm an eighth grader, give me a break I'm an eighth grader, and they're working us too hard We learn calculus, Quantum Mechanics, Algebra And poetry where the words don't even rhyme I know all about genetics And chemistry I know the history of humans And philosophy Why must we work so hard? There's no time to go outside and play I'm an eighth grader I'm an eighth grader I'm an eighth grader, give me a break I'm an eighth grader, and they're working us too hard We learn calculus, Quantum Mechanics, Algebra And poetry where the words don't even rhyme I want to go outside and play I want to go outside and play I want to go outside and play
