My Last Minute Test Failure

(Verse 1)
It was Friday night, the deadline on the line,
We’d been countin’ down the hours, fearing failure all the time.
Logged into the Canvas, heart sinkin’ like a stone,
Safety training part two, We should’ve done it long ago.

(Chorus)
Now we’re cryin’ in the library, complainin’ through the halls,
Sayin’ “why’d they even make us take this at all?”
But the truth is plain and simple, no matter how we wail,
We waited ‘til the last minute, and that’s why we all failed.

(Verse 2)
We said the questions weren’t fair, the rules were way too tough,
But deep down in our conscience, we knew they’d called our bluff.
We skipped through every warning, clicked “next” to get the tests done,
But safety don’t come easy when you’re rushin’ toward the sun.

(Chorus)
Now we’re cryin’ in the library, complainin’ through the halls,
Sayin’ “why’d they even make us take this at all?”
But the truth is plain and simple, no matter how we wail,
We waited ‘til the last minute, and that’s why we all failed.

(Bridge)
It ain’t the test that broke us, it’s the choices that we made,
Procrastin’ to study the lessons ‘til the light began to fade.

(Final Chorus)
So don’t blame the University, don’t curse that Canvas scale,
It’s the Student Shop’s law of learnin’—your effort tips the pail.
We waited ‘til the last minute, and now our story has been told,
Another class of dreamers with our excuses growin’ old.

(Tag)
Yeah, we failed it on Friday…
‘Cause we waited far too long,
and all we can do now
is Sing this sad truthful song.
