Hank Green - This Isn't Hogwarts! lyrics

rate me

I hate this place

I can barely keep the misery off my face

Yeah there's on place I'd mush rather be

Takin transfiguration and arithmancy

And hangin' with my friends in the owlerey

But instead I'm learning parts of speech

And trying not to fall asleep

And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me

It's so grotesque

When the quy sittin next to me drools all over his desk

And I almost raise my hand to complain

But then I realise that I wanna be doin the same

So I put my head down on my desk as well

And suddenly I'm learning a spell

To make my teacher's head swell

But then he wakes me up, and I can't help but yell

ENORGIO!

This isn't hogwarts!

This is a concrete box

And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk

And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try

And the most magical thing we have is florecent lights

And they don't put you in hufflepuff if your not cool

Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school

And I think if I looked into the mirror of erised

I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red

I'm not saying I'm not proud to be a nerd

But public school aint no place for a wizard

Yeah public school aint no place for a wizard

You know what's gross

When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast

But as I ate it anyway I overheared

This guy I hardly know calling me a nerd

So I cast semprum sempra on him inside my mind

I wish there were house elves making my food

And everything was perfectly spiced

And the only one being rude was the poltergeist

And here's what's true

I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school

I'd even call delores umbrige my friend

If it ment I'd never have to go to gym again

But I look around at all of this crap that's part of my life

No ghosts stalkin the halls

Or hangin in the bathroom stalls

And the stairs don't move cuz there's no stairs at all

This isn't hogwarts!

This is a concrete box

And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk

And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try

And the most magical thing we have is florecent lights

And they don't put you in hufflepuff if your not cool

Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school

And I think if I looked into the mirror of erised

I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red

I'm not saying I'm not proud to be a nerd

But public school aint no place for a wizard

Yeah public school aint no place for a wizard
