Slipped Through The Cracks Lyrics - Singles - Atrophy

At the age of 15 your life is defined, it's measured in ounces and grams 

The wisdom of ages is soon pushed away for a crystal that's purchased in drams 

No time for book learning, the street is your school, it teaches a lesson that's real 

You shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents, the only thing real is the deal 

Chorus: 

Words on a page, they're so hard to read 

The will to learn, it's not in your creed 

Why should I care, I reeally can't see 

The teaching of man, they mean nothing to me

Sports is the answer that's what you've been told, 

it's the only way you'll succeed 

A ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook, 

it's the only tool that you'll need 

History and math are soon pushed away by the glory bestowed by a sport 

The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated, 

you live by the rules of the court 

Repeat chorus

Although things aren't perfect, they're trying their best, 

the choice is left up to you 

Resist the temptation of the easy way out, 

the promises made just aren't true 

You've made your decision have given up trying 

and now there is no turning back 

Another statistic for our failing system, 

another that's slipped through the cracks 

Repeat chorus
