The After Math Aftermath
by @zinglizh
Skirmish: Aftermath (@scubed)Liner Notes
#skirmish A humorous look at my math learning disability. I hope to do a demo for this. It was a fun one to write. Oooo working on the music now.
Lyrics
Looking at the bad grade on my paper Big red marks with numbers looped in ink I never solve the problem’s pointless answer Arithmetic doesn't click for me
It's an aftermath after a test I might get a D but mostly an F There's something wrong Wrong with my head Cuz my brain is dead After Math
Guess I’m in the dog house with my tutor One more time he’ll tell me how it’s done He works from home and programs new computers And teaching me One Two Three for fun
It's an aftermath after a test I might get a D but mostly an F There's something wrong Wrong with my head Cuz my brain is dead After Math
I can't add my change, that requires decimals I can't ride the bus, Don’t understand the schedules I can't bake a cake, fractions in the recipies At least I have a watch that talks To remind me to eat my vegetables
Okay But will that help my GPA
It's an aftermath after a test I might get a D but mostly an F There's something wrong Wrong with my head Cuz my brain is dead After Math

Clever title, love me a good math song. This is chock full of fun puns; adding music will send it on an exponential trajectory!

loving your take on the theme - funny, punny, and super relatable. it helps take the sting out of learning disability struggles. well done.

Nicely aligned with that double-meaning!
I can almost hear that "Okay / But will that help my GPA" and I'm certain your delivery will make it all the better.

Fun play on words! That dazed and confused state of being after math class is memorable for many!

Very fun wordplay with after math and aftermath, can't wait to hear a demo
