Book Fair Lyrics

Welcome to the book fair

Line up in the hallway

Bring your parents' checkbook

Talk about this all day

I might get a Goosebumps

I might get an I Spy

Check out these erasers

I think that I might die

I should get some pencils

I might get a juggle kit

Anything to hide the fact that my family is struggling

I've only got about $20

But deep down

I want it all

They turned my free library into a little shopping mall

Welcome to the nightmare of public schools

Turning all your children into customer pools

Now watch them skip a meal just so they can read

If Scholastic really cared about them, books would be free

Underpaid teachers, run-down schools

Daycare masked as an education tool

Missiles funded, wars abroad

It's our system

We're all frauds

Underpaid teachers, run-down schools

Daycare masked as an education tool

Missiles funded, wars abroad

It's our system

We're all frauds…frauds
