What will we do when we have our own kids?
Give 'em 12-year bids just after the bars come off the cribs?
Work within the system, make 'em listen
To the darkest lecture in the architecture
Of a prison full of purity guards, security guards
That's sure to be hard
Recess [ringing]
Rush hurriedly to the yard
Back-to-school nights are visitation rights
And boredom is the warden
They'd be less ignored in private school
But can you afford them?
And even then they're fair to middling
They fiddled with inmates' diddles
And now they got the Ritalin
ADD
Another dumb doctor's complicity
I'm about to substitute teach no T.R.A.C.T

So when the states fail
And they can't make bail
We'll hold a jail brake slash fake bake sale
Slow on the uptake
While below in this cupcake
There's a file a mile wide
With the reviled style guide

Paullelujah!

Current events, comparison/contrast
Cause and effect, embarrass and bombast
Five paragraphs, each starts with a topic sentence
Or hook for pop ascendants
So much plop! Of course people stop attendance
And this court loves to drop defendants
Allow me to leave an illusion dispelled
98 percent of the graduates matriculate
Because the other ones got expelled
And then you know where they go

We could rehabeducate with art
But we ain't got paint
You can take you budgetary constraints
And shove it up you hairy taint
That means you principle asswipe!
You were worse for class than sass or grass in a glass pipe
This isn't hyperbole
This is reality, verbally
And we don't want weekends we need every day between
If you might die when you're twenty
Then you're old when you're fifteen
I know! I'll reopen the Black Mountain School
And bring back to us the abacus as a counting tool
Y'all know what time it is
This is my Bauhaus
We run around when it's nice out
And nobody kowtows
