about

For all teachers past and present:-

lyrics

Kick in the Proverbials:-

We don’t need no education,
We don’t need no self control
There’s really nothing you can teach us,
Cos we already know it all.

Hey, kids,
Leave those teachers alone
All in all it’s just another
Kick in the b***s

Forms, initiatives and targets,
Inspectors never satisfied,
Monitored, assessed, evaluated,
Graded, jaded, crucified

Hey, kids,
Leave those teachers alone

We’re all headed for the burnout,
Hollow eyed, no life no fun,
No sense of humour allowed in the staffroom,
Po faced daleks everyone

Hey, kids,
Leave those teachers alone..

You can speak but we won’t listen,
Fart and belch and answer back,
Attention span of a daddy longlegs,
Just give us Nintendo and American clack.

Hey, kids,
Leave those teachers alone

You can’t confiscate our mobiles,
We got our rights, you can’t do nowt,
Tell us off and we will sue you,
Or get our dads to sort you out.

Hey, kids,
Leave those teachers alone
