Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

School school school school
School school school don't wanna go to
School school school school
School school school don't wanna go to

I don't wanna go to school
Yes it's true
I don't wanna see a teacher's face again
I don't wanna go to school every morning

I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school

Don't wanna go to school
And thats for sure
Don't take me in the morning or I'll cry some more
And I'm really tired of being treated like a fool
I don't wanna go to school

You can't deny me of my
You can't deny me of my
You can't deny me of my freedom
You can't deny me of my
You can't deny me of my
You can't deny me of my summer

I don't wanna go to school
And you give us so much work I go crazy
Try to rest my head and you call me lazy
I look around and all I see is depression

And I'll tell you teachers I got a confession
All us kids wanna do is have some fun
But the work the work the work is never done
You always tell me to stop to stop clownin' around
I can't even make make make make no sound
I can't make no sound

I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna go to school
I don't want I don't want I don't want I don't wanna go to school
I don't want I don't want I don't wanna go to school
I don't want I don't want I don't wanna go to school




I don't wanna go to school
No I don't!

The "75 points" thing was a real thing during World War II.

The US Army had an ASR (Adjusted Service Rating) scoring program where soldiers got points for certain things. The idea was that those who had served the longest- fought the hardest- should be the ones to go home first. The criteria were as follows, with September 16, 1940 as the start date:

1. 1 point per month of service
2. 1 point per months of service overseas (on top of months in service)
3. Awards given- 5 points per award. The Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Medal of Honor, and campaign participation stars all counted, as did so many more.
4. Dependent children under the age of 18- twelve points each.

If you had enlisted after Pearl Harbor and made it all the way through to the Japanese surrender, congrats! You're on the next boat back to the States.

demigod2324 Counting both World Wars, the feeling I got was the guy had seen more places with WWII judging by his comments:
West:  France
South:  Italy
East: Russia and Ukraine

To make it through any of those hotzones with the scale of fighting involved, esp. in the Eastern Front of WWII, that would be amazing.

To make it through WWI in any of the fronts, that alone would be amazing.

But the guy did 2 World Wars... Damn...

Nothing makes me happier them people who used to be enemies getting along just fine and just shooting the shit. I love scenes like this...

nodinitiative

+tankmaster1018 How about a scene in which a former ISIS fighter is patrolling with a Kurd-Iraqi soldier?

Deadlyaztec27

+nodinitiative That would also be heart warming. Bitter enemies saying, "fuck the commanders let's just walk".

should read up on the Battle for Castle Itter

This should really be pinned.

This is the detail needed to make sense of the clip. May the algorithm salute you!

wakcedout

@Jack R see I knee the point system was what they needed to get back home out of the war, much like bomber crews only had to fly so many missions before they were done.

What this helped was explain in detail how those points were earned.
