First period bell and the chaos begins Thirty faces looking up,
committing minor sins There is a girl in the back row who
just wants to spin Pirouettes by the window,
where do I begin?
But the rest of Year Seven is a wall of sound
A thousand questions spinning 'round and 'round
How do I spell this?
What page are we on?
Can I go to the bathroom?
The sanity is gone
I absolutely hate
this hour of the day
Oh, the dancer keeps moving while the world burns down And the
questions are drowning this tired old town I am standing at the
whiteboard trying not to break
How much of Year Seven can one teacher take?
At table four the storm is starting to brew
The dancer and her friend have got fighting to do
Throwing punches in the air,
a chaotic display
While the quiet bookworm begs to read away
She just wants the textbook,
blocking out the noise
Ignoring all the screaming girls and rowdy shouts
And looking out the window,
past the school yard gate
Another wild distraction sealed by playground fate
A stray dog is barking,
chasing someone fast A girl is running screaming,
hoping it won't last While the dancer keeps moving and the world
burns down And the questions are drowning this tired old town I
am standing at the whiteboard trying not to break
How much of Year Seven can one teacher take?
Just read the textbook...
Please stop fighting... Class dismissed
