What makes you think they’re tired?
--- by Alexander (王子渊) of Class 2, Grade 7
I hate the homework, hate the exams,
I hate the tests, don’t want no more.
Of this life, of this life.
These students here, they do the homework,
They can’t play games, they can’t watch TV.
They’re tired, they’re tired.
What makes you think they’re tired?
They’re looking at their watches,
And they’re scared they can’t finish.
What makes you think they’re tired?
I hate math, hate Chinese
I want to sleep and have some fun.
In this life, in this life.
Look at those guys, they don’t have pressure.
They play and sing, all day, all night.
They’re happy but we are tired
