LYRICS:
My school friend, you are with me and company me
The bookmark (The "I" stick) is on our head, you are my sob and my sigh

My name and your name are engraved on this black board's body
Stick of injustice and oppression, has left signs on our body til now

The field of our uncultured-ness*, all of it's herbs are weed
Good if good, bad if bad, (but anyway) hearts of it's people are dead (depressed)

My hand and your hand, should cut these covers
Other than you and me, who can heal our pain (solve our problems)?

My school friend, you are with me and company me
The bookmark (The "I" stick) is on our head, you are my sob and my sigh

My name and your name are engraved on this black board's body
Stick of injustice and oppression, has left signs on our body til now

My school friend, you are with me and company me
The bookmark (The "I" stick) is on our head, you are my sob and my sigh

My name and your name are engraved on this black board's body
Stick of injustice and oppression, has left signs on our body til now

The field of our uncultured-ness, all of it's herbs are weed
Good if good, bad if bad, hearts of it's people are dead (depressed)

My hand and your hand, should cut these covers
Other than you and me, who can heal our pain (solve our problems)?

My school friend, you are with me and company me
The bookmark (The "I" stick) is on our head, you are my sob and my sigh

My name and your name are engraved on this black board's body
Stick of injustice and oppression, has left signs on our body til now
