    The infamous "I Hate TOK" song

    Couldn't see Captain Angry and the Bad Moods in the artist connections... so in case there's still someone missing it out there, it's available right here! Just click on "Download to desktop".

    To save you the trouble of having to click a link, here's the lyrics:

    Captain Angry and the Bad Moods - T.O.K. song

    why do birds fly?
    why do people die?
    why do babies cry?
    why do I try?

    why do phones ring?
    why do birds sing?
    why do bees sting?
    why'd you dance swing?

    I hate T.O.K.
    I have to go there every day
    Spend my hours rotting away
    On my ass in T.O.K.

    why do phones ring?
    why do birds sing?
    why do bees sting?
    why'd you dance swing?

    why do ships sink?
    why does Homie shrink?
    why does smell stink?
    why do people think?

    I hate T.O.K.
    I have to go there every day
    Spend my hours rotting away
    On my ass in T.O.K.

    I hate T.O.K.
    I have to go there every day
    Spend my hours rotting away
    On my ass in T.O.K.

    The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.
    - George Bernard Shaw

    Hehe... And the sad part is that while listening to the song, I started to think about the questions and how to answer them.!

    The best way to deal with ToK (from my own personal experience so far) - DO NOT ATTEND LESSONS, IT'S NOT WORTH THE TIME. There, i said it, flame away.

    But seriously, just go to the tests, write whatever comes to mind first and you're certain to get a B at the very least.

    Who would hate ToK? Maybe it's different everywhere else....but there's no tests in ToK here. We write a paper every 6 weeks. That's it.

    Well here the lessons are boring and not boring in the sense of simply boring. You are simply forced to sleep through the lessons, because of the monotony and the sheer stupidity of the subject. Who cares about being able to analyse if a statement is made with a logical fallacy or without one? If we spoke according to the rules that ToK dictates we wouldn't be able to make ANY statements at all.

  • i tried downloading the song but it isn't there

  • TOK=cool

    I love TOK!! Maybe your teacher sucks and mine does not?

  • So far, TOK is cool. The only thing I hate about it is that the teacher doesn't give you points if you don't participate in class. I want to participate, but I just can't think of anything to say.

    Our TOK teacher is really really good. I still don't like TOK :P Our teacher makes it bareable though, he is really funny. Look out for a book in TOK which he has written, you might get it some time.

  • Hah! >D Wonderful song, and I totally share the feeling.

  • wow that song just totally made my day. yeah, i'm one of the people who hate TOK. i guess my teacher just takes it way too seriously. i really hate that woman too.
    but yeah, thank you!!!

    my TOK class is so hugely awful, the people in my class just argue for the fun of it (and some admit to it). i spend most of the time leaning back in my seat as far as i can. & not only is TOK awful, it's also hugely pointless. how do we know what we know? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, LEAVE ME ALONE

  • oh god. TOK first thing in the morning is the worst thing ever. At that point in the day, all I care about is sleeping. Instead, I'm bombarded with questions such as "How do we know what we know and why do we know it". So, this song pretty much made my day.

    we don't write tests...not even papers...we just go to class and write THE essay...

  • my TOK class was a JOKE. no one took it seriously. i guess if i had another teacher or just another class, I MIGHT like TOK.

    so glad it is over...and I fucking love the song, btw. XD

  • I'm writing my essay right now and the familiar feeling of wanting to die occured some few minutes ago. A feeling that I earlier experienced during extended essay and philosophical dialogue. Does this havean end, oh ye older and wiser students?
