lyrics

(one term)

Two years, eight months and a final term to go
Structural analysis, a lab report, a fee
And the fee was three grand and the studio was two
And I did the arithmetic and I know exactly what I did

One term short, term short, one term short, term short
Everybody tells that story like I couldn't finish
One term short, term short, one term short, term short
I could finish. I ran the numbers. That's different.

The expected value was higher on the studio. It was.
I built the model. Fifteen tabs. I have still got it.
And the model was correct and I am still not sure it was right.
(BEAT SLAMS BACK)
