(Verse 1)
The alarm clock rings, I hit the floor,
Didn’t I just sleep before?
Eyes half-open, brain is dead,
Wish I could stay in bed instead!
(Verse 2)
Run to the bus, my bag feels tight,
Carrying books that weigh my height.
Forgot my notes, oh what a shame,
I barely even know my name!
(Chorus)
School is a pressure cooker tight,
Squeezing my brain with all its might!
Exams, tests, and tons of stress,
Teachers don’t care, they just say "Yes!"
(Verse 3)
Math test starts, my hands feel cold,
These questions look a thousand years old!
I studied hard, but what is this?
Did I just learn the wrong syllabus?!
(Verse 4)
Teacher walks in, her eyes like steel,
Asks me a question—I start to kneel.
“Why is the sky so big and blue?”
Ma’am, I don’t know, I just want food!
(Chorus)
School is a pressure cooker tight,
Squeezing my brain with all its might!
Exams are scary, grades decide,
Who’s the "smart kid" and who just cried!
(Verse 5)
The teacher frowns, she shakes her head,
“Study harder,” is all she said.
One kid smiles, he got full marks,
Now he’s a star, I’m in the dark!
(Verse 6)
Group project time, I start to pray,
One kid’s absent, one’s gone away.
The third one says, “I’ll help, don’t stress,”
Then copies my work—what a mess!
(Chorus)
School is a pressure cooker tight,
Squeezing my brain with all its might!
One wrong step, and down I go,
"Work harder!" is all they know!
(Verse 7)
The teacher says, “You must be smart,”
But grades don’t show a person’s heart!
Some love to draw, some love to sing,
But marks decide everything!
(Verse 8)
The final test, my hands are weak,
I haven’t slept in one whole week!
I write some stuff, I guess some more,
Then hand it in—what a horror!
(Bridge)
The results are out, my heart goes fast,
I check my marks—I barely passed!
The teacher sighs, gives me a stare,
“Not good enough! Do you even care?”
(Verse 9)
I did my best, I tried so hard,
But still, she hands me a "bad report card."
My mom just looks, my dad’s confused,
Looks like my weekend just got bruised!
(Final Chorus)
School is a pressure cooker tight,
Squeezing my brain with all its might!
Grades and tests rule our fate,
But life is more—let’s celebrate!
(Outro)
If you relate, just sing with me,
School is hard, but we’ll break free!
Until that day, I’ll do my best,
And fail this quiz… like all the rest!
