A Hard Test: I Should Have Studied

I know I should a studied but I blew it off instead
My pals and I went and saw that movie about the dead
Now I really need to pass this test oh lord what will I do
It's as if the words are Greek and they make no sense to me
I may as well just pick the letters such as A, B, B, and C
Dear god, if you could help me please just get me through this crisis
On Sunday I will go to church and to my sister I'll be my nicest
"Attention class I have to say we must postpone this test,"
(What, now I can go home to study and tomorrow do my best)
"A broken pipe emergency has made us close the school."
My prayer has now been granted and everything is cool
So you'd think that Johnnie's gratitude would turn his life around
But as he left the school yard he pushed his sister to the ground
He didn't study harder and on Sundays he slept late
For he's still a lad who's yet to learn and for that I can relate
