Mark Me Absent (Live) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
School always lies
It's just about time that I got wise
Mark me absent, baby
Don't bother to look for my name
I got away
[Verse 2]
Can't tell that the school has been?
Think about a time that it's ever been?
Mark me absent now, baby
Don't bother to look for my name
I got away
[Chorus]
I got away
I got away
[Verse 3]
School lies
It's just about time I got wise
Mark me absent, baby
Don't bother to look for my name
I got away
[Chorus]
I got away
I got away
