Battle Hymn of Term Finals


        Mine eyes have seen the horror
        Of the ending of the term
        It has poisoned all my spirits
        Like an apple with a worm
        It's infected all my freedom
        Like an ugly cancer germ
        The truth shall soon be known.

        Chorus: Failure, failure, degradation,
                Failure and humiliation,
                Failure, failure, academia,
                The truth shall soon be known.

        I have listened to the teachers
        But the homework leaves me cold
        I have never done assignments
        Although many times been told
        I have even missed my classes
        When I was feeling bold
        The truth shall soon be known

        Chorus: Failure, failure, degradation,
                Failure and humiliation,
                Failure, failure, academia,
                The truth shall soon be known.

        They are adding all my points up
        And I haven't earned but few
        In fact, I haven't even gotten
        More than one or two
        Oh, if I could only find an answer
        Anything to do
        The truth shall soon be known.

        Chorus: Failure, failure, degradation,
                Failure and humiliation,
                Failure, failure, academia,
                The truth shall soon be known.

        On the lines of every gradebook
        There is solemn news for me
        The worst is yet to come when
        Financial Aid ignores my plea
        So I guess the only answer is
        To drop my books and flee
        The truth shall soon be known.

        Chorus: Failure, failure, degradation,
                Failure and humiliation,
                Failure, failure, academia,
                The truth shall soon be known.

        Well, the end has finally come
        And I have failed to pass a class
        Though the fun and laughter, goofing off
        Was really quite a gas
        But I won't be in the numbers
        Of the capped and gowned mass
        The truth was finally shown.

        Chorus: Failure, failure, degradation,
                Failure, and humilation,
                Failure, failure, academia,
                The truth was finally known.
