This blackboard
Weighs heavy
Board rubbers
Leave scars
Exam board
Inspections
To the drawing board
My son
You need curriculum
And discipline
So pull up your socks
Stand tall and breathe in
Why am I not rich?
Why is my back sore?
What makes us linear?
What did Grandad die for?
Why are there armies?
And whos on our side?
Where does the sun rise?
And where does it hide?
Back to bed
You're dreaming again
Safety in numbers my friend
Picked from a shelf
Sent on parade
Forty hours weekly
Slave for a way
To pick from a shelf
Send on parade
Children of fortune
Make children of fame
Why is this yours?
Why wasn't it mine?
Why do the clocks keep on ticking off time?
Why are there nightmares?
And who made my shoes?
Why are there children shedding blood on the news?
Back to bed
You're dreaming again
Safety in numbers my friend
