School (Single Edit) Lyrics

Mother won't you tell all your children to go to school

They ain't gonna be nobody's fool

Mother won't you tell them to go to rest

Then we'll get that weight right of your chest

Father won't you be the one to save the day

You don't have to listen to what they say

Be the one to break the chain

Just find a way to use your brain

There's so much that we need to share

We'll rearrange it all

Through the years you were always there

To catch us in the fall

Sister let this be the last time you fled to hide

This ain't the time to stand aside

We will catch you if you fall to the ground this time

Girl let it be, just come around

There's so much that we need to share

We'll rearrange it all

Through the years you were always there to catch us in the fall

There's so much that we need to share

We'll rearrange it all

And I've been waiting for so long

So long, so long

As we lie were priests have prayed

The centre of the western way

We stake our claims and go along the best we can with all our days

You and I will both survive, remember all the times we had

Unless we finish first in class, we say goodbye we pack our bags

In mutual destruction, in dismantling the common good

We find ourselves abandoning what once was, is and always should

In privatizing selective abduction leads to what we fear

The loss of all that's dear
