Simple As Math
Math, math is simple.
You add or you subtract,
It seems as simple as that
But then there's variables
And parenthesis
And all these other little symbols
That mean absolutely nothing to you
But you teacher says that the way it goes
So you go along
Though you don't understand
Why you have to get rid of the variable
And divide x
Or find the mean
And the radius of a circle
Why some numbers get to skip
And others have to be held back
And removed, divided and subtracted
Till a zero takes it's place
Math used to be simple.
