“Careless Errors” Lyrics

(Ohhh noooo)
I feel insecure
As I grab my pencil and begin this Math chore
Slightly traumatized, I try to improvise
Unable to even solve
The very first exercise

You’re never gonna Math again
Sloppy minds, they lack precision
Your work is hard to comprehend
These problems aren’t that cruel
You don’t even know where to begin
You get stuck with long division
So you’re never gonna Math again
The way that you’re supposed to do
(Ohhh nooo)

I get so distressed
By careless errors on a Math test
One can surely forgive
The occasional slip
But my goofs are so profuse
My score comes back negative!

You’re never gonna Math again
Sloppy minds, they lack precision
Your work is hard to comprehend
These problems really aren’t that cruel
You don’t even know where to begin
You can’t handle long division
So you’re never gonna Math again
Unless you go to summer school
(I never had a chance)

I’m a sad teenager
(Suuuuuch a sad teenager)
I’m a sad teenager
Errors so disgraceful, so disgraceful
That I’ll have to be an English major
