The White Stripes - Black Math lyrics

Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?

My fingers definitely turning to black now

Maybe I'll put my live on ice

And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now

The longer words are really breaking my back now

Maybe I'll learn to understand

Drawing a square with a pencil in hand

Mathematically turning the page

Unequivocally showing my age

I'm practically center stage

Undeniably earning your wage

Maybe I'll put my live on ice

And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

Listen master can I ask you a question

Is it the fingers, or the brain

that you're teaching this lesson?

Maybe I'll put my live on ice

And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
