Текст песни Slipped Through The Cracks

At the age of 15 your life is defined, it's measured in ounces and grams

The wisdom of ages is soon pushed away for a crystal
that's purchased in drams

No time for book learning,
the street is your school, it teaches a lesson that's real

You shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents,
the only thing real is the deal

Chorus:

Words on a page, they're so hard to read

The will to learn, it's not in your creed

Why should I care, I reeally can't see

The teaching of man, they mean nothing to me

Sports is the answer that's what you've been told,

it's the only way you'll succeed

A ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook,

it's the only tool that you'll need

History and math are soon pushed away by the glory bestowed by a sport

The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated,

you live by the rules of the court

Repeat chorus

Solo: Skowron

Solo: Lykins

Although things aren't perfect, they're trying their best,

the choice is left up to you

Resist the temptation of the easy way out,

the promises made just aren't true

You've made your decision have given up trying

and now there is no turning back

Another statistic for our failing system,

another that's slipped through the cracks

Repeat chorus
