Song: New Rules by Dua Lipa

Riiiing

I learned that my worth,

As a person,

As a student,

As a member of society,

Is determined by a number

Of about 0 to 100.

Riing

I learned that you're expected to;

Stay quiet,

Stick to the norm,

Stop thinking for yourself or otherwise,

In order to succeed

In life.

Riiiing

I learned that adults;

Don't trust teenagers,

Won't listen to your arguments in a debate,

Want you to stay in a box

Nice and neat.

Riiinnng

I learned that;

My mother isn't perfect,

My own discretion is advised,

My talents aren't uncommon,

Riiing

I was taught that,

A*2+B*2=C*2

Shakespeare was a genius,

I'm really good at run-ons,

Canada contributed way more than America in the First World War

Riiiing

I was taught that

y=mx+b

Writers use too many motifs,

Being good at run-one isn't good,

Both the French and English lyrics to O'Canada

Riiiiing
