some good word to say

our world turns all experience into test

just so we're measured each and every day

each purpose is the same to be the best

the angry and the ones who acquiesced

in the strict rules by which we willed to play

our world turns all experience into test

they said to us and we thought it a jest

until the last good choices went away

each purpose is the same to be the best

at this long game and not to be depressed

is what the teacher said and we were grey

our world turns all experience into test

with each achievement losing all its zest

once skill has turned it into just more play

each purpose is the same to be the best

so that is all the worth we may attest

while each of us has some good word to say

our world turns all experience into test

each purpose is the same to be the best
