Along comes a baby
So innocent and pure
No imperfections
Or problems to cure

Now 5 years old
It's time for an education
If your child shows resistance
We'll get them on medication

The government curriculum
That's what you need
Take away your individuality
We'll plant the seed

There's no room for critical thinkers
Not in our schools
We'll all stand together
Ridicule them as fools

What we need is grafters
Just intelligent enough to breathe
50 hour working week
And a job you'll never leave

For this you'll be rewarded
Of course you will
A life full of debt
And a never ending bill

You can retire at 70
We'll give you a pension
Now do as you're told
Or you'll be getting detention
