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
