You Really Are Dumb, Blind, and Deaf

How long will it take you to get it
When will you figure it out, are you dumb
Can't you see I'm in the dark
Hopelessly lost and trying to find my way, are you blind
I guess you can't hear the cries for help,
The cries in the dark, waiting for an answer

Are you dumb blind and deaf
I'm not sure yet, but maybe tests will show
What you really ought to know
You really must be dumb blind and deaf

Is the new depression showing up yet
depression: part II, that is, since you never quite got the first one, you must be dumb
Are you blind, because you didn't see this depression coming
Out of nowhere? No possible causes? It just happened? You must be blind.
I guess this is just another message that you'll never hear
You're just to deaf to hear it, I'm not sure, just maybe, you might be deaf

Are you dumb blind and deaf
I'm not sure yet, but maybe tests will show
What you really ought to know
You really must be dumb blind and deaf

Oh no! jJust look at this. you spazzed on me yet another time
Past my bed time, asif I even go to sleep at that time
Too much drumming, not enough studying, as if I'm Mr. straight A's just like you?
Nope, it won't happen this year, not yet
Maybe when you see my priorities and realize grades aren't as important
You'll realize where I want to go in life
You're priorities are bulshit for now, because you really must be dumb, blind, and deaf!

Are you dumb blind and deaf
I'm not sure yet, but maybe tests will show
What you really ought to know
You really must be dumb blind and deaf
(repeat)...
