Atrophy Slipped Through The Cracks Lyrics

Slipped Through The Cracks Lyrics

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The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated,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
