Today, I have this huge Algebra exam
Which I didn't study for
I know, I know, lazy, but that's who I am
But right now, who am I to expect a high score?

Aw, geez, the teacher's here already?
I am so gonna die in this test
I'm begging you, 5 minutes, just let me study
No? Okay, I'll just have to use stock knowledge, I guess

Alright, I can do this, I know I can
What?! 3 pages? Oh no, no, no
I don't know these stuff! Aw man!
Maybe I could cheat... Yes, yes, just lay low

Oh crap, he saw me, what to do?
Shoot, he's walking towards me
"Is there a problem, Andrew?"
No, sir, just your normal, un-lazy examinee

He bought it, oh yeah!
Guess cheating isn't the way out of this
But Allen, he's really good in Algebra
And sitting next to me, he is

Tempted to cheat, I am
Help me, Yoda, I ask for your wisdom
"One thing you should not have done, CRAM."
Sorry, but unlike you, I'm pretty much dumb

Is there no hope for me right now?
Is this how I'll go down, weak and without a fight?
No, no it is not, defeat I must not allow
There, I see it, victory, hope in my sight

I grab my ball pen and start writing my name
"Andrew Smith, Senior Student"
Here we go, no pain, no gain
Eyes focused, hand prepared, back bent

I am ready to conquer this test!
And suddenly, the teacher starts collecting the papers
What?! Just when I was about to give my best?
Well, I guess there are three more quarters
