Canção Escolar

[Hortensia]
Hey, newbies!

At first, everyone thinks
That surviving is pretty easy
In this school for growing up
You have a lot to learn

The mistake
Is forgetting who’s in charge
And who to protect yourself from
Here you gotta take it slow and not rush

[Kids]
And
Life in this dump
Is torture that never ends
Don’t chatter!
We cry, we shake
When the siren goes off

But if we look out for each other
Maybe the losses will be less in the end
Remember who’s been here before
Even if you mess up a lot
Start over every single day

And with time, you’ll understand
What you’ll see if you step out of line
A storm will hit
And the punishment is arbitrary
And the worst, bloody
You can’t be the X in the problem

[Lavander]
Why?

[Delegate]
Why?
Why? You wanna be unhappy?
Go take P.E

[Matilda]
