Why should I study?

Why should I study for school?
Why should I do my homework?
It's not really cool
And it's such hard work

Well my dear friend, I'll let you know
What would happen if you do not
I had a friend who didn't grow
Since the education he never caught

He never took notes or said things in class
He never did his homework or turned up for the exam
Sure, to the rest, it made him look badass
But in reality, it got him in a jam

Because, my friend, when school's ending was near
And he failed his exams again and again
While the rest were partying, drinking a beer
He was to be workless, bound by a chain

For he couldn't graduate, not without a single pass
Which meant that his education he was unable to continue
So he was the lone wolf in the rest of his class
And now he stood with a major issue

For no notes meant no passed exams
And no passed exams meant no graduating
For with no graduating came no job
And with no job came no money
For no money he could not buy food
And without food he started to get sick
For unable to pay for medicine, his illness got worse
And with that illness came a painful death

So you see, my friend, that is why you should study
And that is why you should do your homework
For even if it doesn't seem cool to your buddy
Isn't it better than not getting any work?
