G                             C 
If necessity is the mother of invention 
G                                              C 
Then I'd like to kill the guy who invented this 
F                                 C 
The numbers come together in some kind of third dimension 
G 
A regular algebraic bliss 
 
 
Let's start with something simple like one and one ain't tree 
And two plus two will never get you five 
There are fractions in my subtraction and x don't equal y 
G                  F             C 
But my homework is bound to multiply (ply, ply, ply) 
 
 
 
	     F      C     
	Math sucks, math sucks 
	G                                C 
	I'd like to burn this text book, I hate this stuff so much 
	     F      C     
	Math sucks, math sucks 
	    Am                 G                 F 
	Sometimes I think that I don't know that much 
	But math sucks 
 
I got so bored with my homework, I turned on the TV 
The beauty contest winners were all smiling through their teeth 
Then they asked the new Miss America 
Hey babe can you add up all those bucks? 
She looked puzzled, then just said "Math Sucks" 
 
Chorus: 
	Math sucks, math sucks 
	You don't even have to spell it, all you have to do is yell it 
	Math sucks, math sucks 
	Sometimes I think that I don't know that much 
	But math suck 
 
 
Bridge: 
	Am                                 G 
	Geometry, Trigonometry and if that don't tax your brain 
	Am                              G 
	There are numbers too big to be named. 
	Am                       G 
	Numerical precision is a science with a mission 
	Am                              B7 
	And I think it's gonna drive me insane. 
 
(Solo: chords--> C  G   C   G  F  G 
 
Parents fighting with their children and the congress can't agree 
Teacher and thier students are all jousting constantly 
Management and labors keep rattling old sabres 
Quacking like those Peabody ducks 
 
(Repeat 2nd Chorus) 
 
C 
Math sucks, Math sucks, Math sucks the big one...(Repeat & fade out)
