Context? VI

I was puzzled when I walked into the high school German classroom one day.  Someone from one of the previous classes had written the lyrics of Billy Joel's "Honesty," in English, on the chalkboard.  The writing grew larger with each verse.  It looked like a girl's handwriting, but to this day, I don't know who wrote it.  I still wonder what would prompt someone to write lyrics such as, "Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue," on the board for other classes to read.  Had someone been dishonest with her recently?  Did she have a generally cynical view of people?  Did she like the song and want to share its lyrics?  Or, maybe the song had been on a continuous loop in her mind, and she wanted to pass it on.  (After all, that's one reason I write persistent earworm alerts on my blog.)  Was she hoping that people would rise to the challenge and translate it into German?  Or, was she trying to spark a philosophical "Are people generally good or bad?" debate in other classes?  My guess is that at least two of these possibilities applied.
