It's all about the tests to "It's All About The Bass" by Meghan Trainor





 What's a little civil disobedience without a protest song. I'm not anti-testing. I'm against poor assessments. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Because it's all about the tests, bout the tests
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests.
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests

Yeah it's pretty clear, what we gotta do!
Please don't take it, take it, like your supposed to
You know those tests, they make the kids hearts race.
All they see is scores and not the student's faces.

I see those Pearson reps, schmoozing the Governor.
"Do we have a deal?"
"C'mon do we sir?"
If you have freedom, freedom then lift it up.
Education for all students is not racing to the top.

You know my Momma she taught me the who's, the what's, and why's.
She said be worried of things that only fit one size.
They don't take into account individuality.
So if one size fits all, then what about you and me?

Because it's all about the tests, bout the tests
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests.
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests

Bring Education back!
Tell the Governor no way!
I'm not playin', I'm more than a stat!
I'm here to tell you that...
Every student matters from the bottom to the top!

You know my Momma she taught me the who's, the what's, and why's.
She said be worried of things that only fit one size.
They don't take into account individuality.
So if one size fits all, then what about you and me?

Because it's all about the tests, bout the tests
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests.
Not Students.
It's all about the tests, bout the tests
