Procrastination Man

A new song about being behind in school, to the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man-" (note- this in no way is meant to comment on NSA as a school overall, I enjoy this school a lot- it is simply a silly song about falling behind in schoolwork.)

by Silas Miller

It's 9:48 on a Wednesday
Usual school sorta day
there's a NSA vet sitting next to me
who remembers the old NSA ways

He says "Son, could you play me a memory
'bout the good ol' days in my prime
when I thought I had months to finish my work
but soon I ran out of time"

Da de da da de da da de da da
da da da da dadee daaaa daaaaa daaaa

Play us a song, we're procrastinators
Play us a song tonight
While we're all doing stuff other than school work
But for some reason, we still feel alright!

Now school these days is no friend of mine
I ain't enjoying this academy-
And I'll try to act fine, though I'm so far behind
And there's some place that I'd rather be

I'll say "Friends, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile runs away from my face
"Well, I'm sure that I could have a summertime
If I could just get back on pace"

Da de da da de da da de da da
da da da da dadee daaaa daaaaa daaaa

Now we sit and we scroll through our task list
And it gives us all major strife
And we're stuck doing schoolwork all flipping day long
And probably will be for life!

Da de da da de da da de da da
da da da da dadee daaaa daaaaa daaaa

AND MY INTERNET IT KEEPS CRASHING!
AND I THINK I MIGHT BURST MY SPLEEN!
AND WE SIT AT OUR DESKS TAKING QUIZZES AND TESTS!
ALL DAY WE STARE AT OUR SCREENS!

Play us a song, we're procrastinators
Play us a song tonight
While we're all doing stuff other than school work
But for some reason, we still feel alright!

We procrastinate most every day
That's the NSA style
And we know what subject to do, but we wait
Forget about school for a while

And after a while, we realize
We've wasted the entire year
And we've not gotten far on the course progress bar
And don't know what we're doing here

Da de da da de da da de da da
da da da da dadee daaaa daaaaa daaaa

Play us a song, we're procrastinators
Play us a song tonight
While we're all doing stuff other than school work
And somehow, we still feel alright!
