The Lyrics

i got something to say that's gonna cause you pain
seems your mind's been blockin' out this course again
can't seem to lead you down (lead you down)
this lesson's path
(cannot lead you down this lesson's path)
because you got a low score...no...you can't do math

well, its the second time i've taught you lessons, my friend
do i have to flunk you one more time...your thinkin' is thin
can't seem to get it down (get it down)
too big a task
(cannot get it down, too big a task)
don't wanna see you no more...no...you can't do math

everybody's green...when first they try to learn this stuff
but soon, they've seen
but you're still astray...you can't find the way

so please listen to me...must be cruel to be kind
you've done hit your ceiling...better find a new line
you'll never understand (understand)
you'll only crash
(never understand, you'll only crash)
don't wanna teach you no more...no..you can't do math

you can't do math
you can't do math
you can't do math
you can't do math
you can't do math

everybody's green...when first they try to learn this stuff
but soon, they've seen
but you're still astray...you can't find the way

so please listen to me...though i know you've been tryin'
i can't help but see you've no math'matical mind
don't wanna put you down (put you down)
and that's a fact
(don't wanna put you down and that's a fact)
ain't no way to ignore...no...you can't do math
