lyrics

well my overall mental situation
all my social phobias as a whole
probably have a whole lot to do with physical education
specifically the climbing pole

because school times are hard times
when you're chubby

in case you can't already tell
from how i describe this personal hell
i never could climb up that damn pole
but they made me try and try again surrounded by bully assholes

because school times are hard times
when you're chubby

it's not the failure per se that's gonna haunt you,
it's that everyone is watching
but in the very end you learned the most that day
gonna murder you a sports teacher someday

because school times are hard times
when you're chubby

now it's the present, these days are long gone
and i'm still unable to train or workout
when there's other people around
teachers, educators, are you proud?

because school times are hard times
when you're chubby
school times go by, school times go by,
even when you're chubby

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
