Report Card

He's going to have to turn it around
Getting himself on to stable ground
He's going to have to learn what I missed
He's going to have to learn all of this

He's going to have to learn one day
No matter how far along the way
As it will all come back
Showing all that you lack

He has to make a stand
To be in this land
It's all in a book
Don't give me that look

So I have to take that role
As I can't just dole
I must set the bar
If I expect him to go that far
