Cover art for Tip lyrics by Finger Eleven

This song has an interesting meaning to me personally. When I was in school, I almost never did school work. I understood it completely, but the work bored me, so instead I just slept. The teachers decided to bug me to death about it, so I just started doing the work. Except the work I was handing in was just answers out of a book I had stolen from the teachers office. And any english was me spewing a lot of creative bullshit. I was conducting an experiment to see how far I could get by fucking around... and I graduated. But everyday, I got paranoid that they were going to find out... sometimes I almost did the work for real a couple of times to try and phase the lie out. Doesn't matter now, though. It's not as if they're going to check. I didn't fight the system, I just fooled it. May sounds cocky, but I am one smart bastard.
