The Hong Kong A-Levels -- a Wicked, Wicked System

Hailed as the toughest exam in the world,
Piling pressure on teenage boys and girls.
Study, study, study
To get into university. 
Study, study, study,
The government doesn't care about your stifled creativity.
It's a rigid, elitist system,
Dividint students into different spectrums.
Band one is for all the smart kids,
If you get into Band two or three you'll never succeed.
They don't care if you really learn or just cram,
They even limit the name you can use in the English writing exam. 
Perfect for nurturing "go-fun-dai-nun"-- kids who only know to study
But with no other abilities -- including me.
