Welcome to Monta Vista! 
Make yourself at home 
You will feel all alone 
Where you learn and thrive  
Or should I say barely survive? 
 
In the #15 high school from the state 
Sounds just great 
We're getting ahead of ourselves, wait! 
 
Numbers, ranking, results, already 
Jam packed in my skull 
As my mind decomposes on itself  
Like the fungi and worm that lay on my grave 
 
A place where we go by force 
Course selection, go and hold your remorse 
To achieve, and don't hold back! 
Calc BC, please don't slack 
What's that, you got a test leak? 
Please, you should let me take a peak! 
End up in the office 
With the same kid who managed the A 
And never ever showed a sign he was weak! 
 
Yet he cheated, his mind crumbled like mine as well 
When the pressure sums up 
The studying shall go to hell 
But our parents always say 
Don't ever take shortcuts, don't cheat, don't slow down 
Yet our sanity, forgotten like a fine grain of sand 
Slips out my small little hand  
and disperses, fits in with all the others 
In the vast, stretched out, wasteland 
 
My social life is sacrificed  
A small price to pay 
For the letter that shows on our transcripts in late May 
And your parents' pride at the end of the day 
 
Ah, it must be you! 
You lazy child, as carefree as a sloth 
 
Your mind, your body, you need sleep 
All fails when your alarm rings beep 
A lost prayer that you could pull through the night 
And realization sets in that you lost the fight 
 
Because that's all we care about, right?
