Lyrics

Alright, let's check back into school

I feel violated... because they are taking us... they are taking education away from us.  And I demand education, a better education

There isn't any way to punish a large number of deviants. Unless you can colonize the mind of children growing up, so they become their own police

F**k that
Yea, yea, uh
Goldilocks was a sl*t!

Tell the children the truth
The pigs killed the Big Bad Wolf
And the witch got framed, it wasn't her it was Bush
Humpty nevеr jumped, he was pushed
Bo Peep was a b*t*h, shе never lost no sheep
She had them all killed for their meat
Cinderella was a w****, and life is raw
You live, you die, that's all

Cla** clown, teacher's pet, whatever, just let us play
Let us learn somethin' that might concern somethin' today
You been tellin' me some eat-a**, Miss, all this school sh*t
Makes me think I'll never get a job doin' music
But this old dictator can't teach me jack
Why you talkin' to me like I'm just a piece of crap?
Just scribblin' my rhymes while you talkin' 'bout your algebra
With your little text book to help figure it out for ya
You call it a uniform, I call it a costume
How the hell the cla**room is different from the staffroom?
Say that we should be in a group, not be original
But that's how people end up hatin' people that they're different to
Look, Miss, I'm sick of being treated like a criminal
I suggest you get someone to contact the principle
Tell him that we gonna need the keys to the swimmin' pool
Or every teacher in the school will be dead by interval
(What!?)
Tell the children the thruth
The pigs killed the Big Bad Wolf
And the witch, she got framed, it wasn't her it was Bush
Humpty never jumped, he was pushed
Bo Peep was a b*t*h, she never lost no sheep
She had them all killed for their meat
Cinderella was a w****, and life is raw
Ya live, ya die, that's all
Tell the children the truth

If your kids do badly it does not mean that they're bad readers or anything else, it means that they haven't been obedient to the drills [?] that day
Ah, everyone calm down, get in a straight line
Hey, hey you, stop being creative!
C'mon, I wanna call the roll, now everyone shut the-
Put it up your hairy a**, Miss

(Ah, all clear?) Yea, no sh*t, we're all here
Now ring the bell before we're forced to make warfare
(Is Sean here?) Sure yea, we haven't got all year
Look, Miss, we're bored, we're just here to play four-square
Why you always wanna keep track of me
And why you make the geeks rat on me
(Tom, don't speak back to me)
Look, there's 33 of us, Miss, and only one of you
And we all wanna "What, cla**?" So what you gonna do?
'Cause we, we gonna tie you to your desk
Cover you in meths, set fire to your dress
Bubble any trouble, and we're doublin' and rumblin'
We're gonna leave you covered in more blood than a jungle gym
Oh, yes, you're gonna pay (What!), for leading us kids the wrong way (What!)
Now if you're free and you're young, then shout "Freedom!"
And if you're ready to die for it, say "Goldilocks was a sl*t!"
Tell the children the thruth
The pigs killed the Big Bad Wolf
And the witch got framed, it wasn't her it was Bush
Humpty never jumped, he was pushed
Bo Peep was a b*t*h, she never lost no sheep
She had them all killed for their meat
Cinderella was a w****, and life is raw
Ya live, then ya die and thats all
Tell the children the truth

We no have education. We have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool

Stop your lyin', stop your lyin', tell the children the truth (Yea, yea)
You're tellin' us this and you're tellin' us that but you ain't got no proof (Yea, whatever, Miss)
Everything that I need to know, I learned from Dr. Seuss (It's real)
So we dont need your education, tell the children the truth

And we're now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. And the consequence is that many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they're not, because the thing they were good at at school wasn't valued or was actually stigmatized. And I think we can't afford to go on that way
