I was thinking about a time in high school when I turned my books in to the math teacher and said, ‘I refuse to learn from you anymore.’ The song is about asking questions. A lot of people are taught just to regurgitate information. People don’t care if you learn anymore. Opinion gets trampled on.

[Verse 1]
Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, my fingers definitely turning to black now
Yeah, well maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
[Verse 2]
My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now, yeah
Maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah
[Bridge]
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain
That you're teaching a lesson?
I can't tell you how proud I am
I'm writing down things that I don't understand
[Outro]
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
