My SPM Blues

I wrote, sang, played on keyboard and recorded this song of SPM in a few hours because it was exactly how I felt and I couldn't stand it... here goes
[sorry but it's not the best quality. very fuzzy sound]





Lyrics:

V1:
Our country’s biggest thing is SPM
Many people thinking it’s a stupid exam
But what we’re gotta do is to cram cram cram
Last minute or not it’s a sickening scam

No time to be playing or singing this song
Cos if you’re doing it it’s so damn wrong
The time to be studying is so damn long
No time to be jamming which is where we belong

Chorus:
SPM
No one cares
If you faint or cry or die in pain
SPM
And (but) they say
If you don’t do well you’ll die of shame
SPM
Do they know
How we feel inside the stress of
SPM
Can we go
To some other place where there’s no SPM

V2:
Whether you love it or you hate it you’ve got to take the thing
Everyone’s pushing you to win win win
You can’t look at books cos that’s called cheating
And the man with most A1’s is called the king

So it’s called success if you get the pretty A’s
How about love and friends do they have no place?
After secondary school we’re gonna go our separate ways
Can’t we spend more time together maybe just a few days?

Bridge:
Ministry of Education
Why put us through all this pain
This overload of information
At the end what do we gain?

Hey I'm Tenes here.
I understand your "pain" on SPM.went through it once. so the best thing i can do is to keep you in my prayer, (i'm christian)
and read the gospel of
Mark 11:24,25. I'm Doing My STPM this year. really pray that everything will come to a good end.
Take care Yo!!!
