We slave and slave and slave all day
for vapid jobs that do not pay
We strive and strive to do our best
but nothing seems to pass the test.

When all our labor goes to waste
and masters’ heads are full of haste
When effort goes unseen, we’ll fight
until the teachers get it right.

Though students can be pitiful
their smarts are often fictional
we’ll have to stand and strike dumb down
until it’s no where to be found.

With all the effort placed in school,
and all the time put in,
you’d think we wouldn’t play the fool
but that’s the spot we’re in.
