Fairness

When your teacher is evil and mine is great,
When you have two hours and I have thirty minutes,
When you go and I stay,
When you know and I don't,
That's when life's unfair for me.

When I have HSIE but you have English,
When I have an hour but you are banned,
When I go and you are grounded,
When I know but don't tell you,
That's when life's unfair for you.

When you have Japanese and I've got English,
When you're on and I'm reading a book,
When we both stay or go,
When we both know,
That's when life becomes fair.
