lyrics

I just got in from my mathematics retake
Doing it again because I failed it the first time.
I worked so flipping hard, every night, every day
But I guess in the end it didn't matter anyway.

I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university.

For my preparation I did every paper
The questions in the textbook - not a problem.
I know what to do so what went so wrong?
Every single question just took way too long.

I thought that the papers were meant to be consistent
But nothing prepared me for that.
A nasty long proof that nobody knew
Hated mechanics and calculus too.

I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university.

All my hopes and dreams were resting on this paper
I feel my future slipping away
Take a deep breath, I know that I’m smart
But I stare at the blank page and don't know where to start...

I just failed
I just failed
(Failed my maths exam today)

I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university

Guess I didn't need that physics degree
Guess I’ll just save the money.
For now I'll just sit and watch some TV
Take a long holiday, get some vitamin D...
