[Verse 1] Pencils down, the clock is ticking Hear that little warning bell No one knows what she is thinking No one knows how well they did Pages turning, hands are shaking Someone whispers, someone prays Every answer could be waiting Every wrong one has a price to pay [Pre-Chorus] Question one, don't look away Question two, you've got all day Question three, don't make a sound Question four, who's not around [Chorus] Pop quiz, pop quiz Tell me what the answer is Pick a box, cross it out Hope you know what this is about Pop quiz, pop quiz Nothing's wrong, so smile a bit Do your best and don't you miss Another little pop quiz [Verse 2] Someone's staring at the ceiling Someone's sweating through their shirt Someone's certain they are cheating Someone's certain they are caught The teacher walks between the tables Stops beside an empty chair Asks us all to keep our papers Then she smiles and isn't there [Pre-Chorus] Question five, don't lose your place Question six, don't meet her gaze Question seven, hear that sound Question eight, don't turn around [Chorus] Pop quiz, pop quiz Tell me what the answer is Pick a box, cross it out Hope you know what this is about Pop quiz, pop quiz Nothing's wrong, so smile a bit Do your best and don't you miss Another little pop quiz [Bridge] The clock is loud The room is still The hallway waits beyond the door If I fail If I fail Will she come back for one more? [Final Chorus] Pop quiz, pop quiz Tell me what the answer is Write it down, don't hesitate Maybe you can change your fate Pop quiz, pop quiz One more question, one more bit Do your best and don't you miss Another little pop quiz [Outro] Time is up Pencils down Keep your eyes upon the ground Pop quiz Pop quiz See you in class
