VCE lets chat just you and me, your kind of taking over my life slowly,
VCE, Victorian certificate of education,
Your all over me like a weird sensation,
We started learning and started fast, though in maths class we ask god how much longer must it last,
The school books are as heavy as a humongous brick, no longer can we sook to our mums playing sick,
VCE, Very calm educators,
Acting so calm, no longer is class like a farm, filled with wild animals,
More like a class full of camels, filling up with information, it’s really time to focus on education,
The teacher teaching us with care, soon we’ll be gone and they won’t have to stare,
Into a room of growing children, as they realise we are almost there,
VCE, Very cool elders,
Oldest at the school, younger kids think we are so cool,
But still we struggle through our books, and deciding if we want to be teachers or cooks,
VCE, Victorious educational certificate
That is what it should be called, because after we are grown and been mauled,
We’ll look back at the best days of our lives, whether where fixing cars or cutting people with knifes,
Even though our friends lead us astray, we found ourselves together by the end anyway,
Through the good and the bad, by the end we were sad,
These two years have been such a fuss, but forever thankful we will always caring what we have learnt with us
