[Verse]
Taught me B-A-G on a plastic flute,
But never how to budget when the bills come due.
Solve for x, but my mind unsolved,
Running circles 'round a system that don’t evolve.
Pledge allegiance, hands to the flag,
While the kids in the back, mental health in the bag.
Sandy Hook echoes, but the lesson's ignored,
They teach us the math, but not what life scores.
[Chorus]
Math and madness, add it up, subtract it,
What’s the value of a life when the system’s static?
They don’t teach you how to heal or where to look,
Just a tune on the recorder, not a Sandy Hook.
[Verse 2]
They preach Pi, never piece of mind,
Infinite digits but no time to unwind.
Chemicals in my head, no periodic chart,
They dissect the body, but forget the heart.
History books full of kings and wars,
But not the trauma locked behind our doors.
A+ student, but the soul's on E,
They taught me the past, never taught me to be free.
[Chorus]
Math and madness, add it up, subtract it,
What’s the value of a life when the system’s static?
They don’t teach you how to heal or where to look,
Just a tune on the recorder, not a Sandy Hook.
