REBELLED

I haven't got dyslexia, but this is my take on it, and for those who had to get through it.
REBELLED
I'm living the dream,
I'm changing the world
not bad for a kid
who ended up expelled
Chorus
At school, they treated me
like -I was a fool
that's why I REBELLED
and broke all the rules
told me that
I wouldn't amount too much
stuck me in a class, at the end of the hall
just cos words to me, looked double Dutch
Chorus
At school, they treated me
like -I was a fool
that's why I REBELLED
and broke all the rules
Didn't understand, and didn't want to
gave me detention, stuck me on my own
called me stupid, look at me now
I'm top of the world, no dunces cone
Send in the clowns, the teachers are fools
thats why I REBELLED, broke all the rules
( laughing clip)
Chorus
At school, they treated me
like -I was a fool
that's why I REBELLED
and broke all the rules
I'm living the dream,
I'm changing the world
not bad for a kid
who ended up expelled

A good cause and an equally good song, kudos to you Katie for taking up the mantle

Probably fits for others who have struggled with the structured format of classes too. Not specifically mentioning Dyslexia (only the double dutch reference) allows it to be interpreted in a wider context.
These lines are my favorite:
Send in the clowns, the teachers are fools
thats why I REBELLED, broke all the rules
This one definitely has attitude!
Good stuff.

I can relate. I used to be in charge of in school suspension.After seeing so many kids with learning disabilities I got re certified in Special Education.0
