I was trying to catch up on the public school budgets around the country
when the shock and awe was all over Philadelphia news.In the papers
today, Dwight Evans is involved with charter school shenanigans.Anthony
Williams is pushing a voucher demand with all the privatization talking
points.Then, I found out that our council person wants hearings on the
important subject of school prayer.
Oh lord Janice, there's some mighty bad trips going round!
A Student's Prayer
Oh lord, won't you buy me, a leader with a brain
My future is sinking; it's goin' down the drain
Worked hard all my childhood, with nothin' to gain
So oh lord, won't you buy me, a leader with a brain
Oh lord, won't you buy me, a tank and a gun
My school days are over; it's time to have some fun
I finally have a purpose, a hot dog for the bun
So oh lord, won't you buy me, a tank and a gun
Oh lord, won't you buy me, some drugs for the night
Corporations get richer, and I'm told to fly a kite
Prove that you love me, a fix would put me right
So oh lord, won't you buy me, some drugs for the night
Everybody now
Oh lord, won't you buy me, a leader with a brain
My future is sinking; it's goin' down the drain
Worked hard all my childhood, with nothin' to gain
So oh lord, won't you buy me, a leader with a brain
Amen
