Jack horner

You see whos over there in the corner?
Little jack horner, sat in a corner...
I say, I say, I say
Whyd jack horner sit in the corner?
The story goes its cos he had a square bum.
Well Im telling you, thats not absolutely true
He was told to sit there by his teacher.
Jacks crime was this, he said, teacher you are wrong, the british army killed a lot of people too. the empires built on the broken backs and the stolen land of all them blacks, all paid for out of your income tax.
She said, i wont stand for that. dont give me your back chat, the headmaster will surely hear of this.
She said, dont speak until youre spoken to. Ill tell you what you can and cant do. now go and sit in that corner till I get back.
Jack was all alone
Struggling on his own
But when the head walked in the children made such a din
They said, jack get up, you got to get out. dont let them push you about, you know theyll keep you in that corner till youre dead. jack get out, dont sell out, dont compromise with christmas pies, you know theyll keep you in that corner till youre dead. keep shouting back, you tell em jack, dont swallow none of their crap, you know theyll keep you in that corner till youre dead. calling jack horners everywhere, dont bend to authority which doesnt care, you know theyll keep you in that corner till youre dead.
Jane got up, she helped jack out, she said, teachers dont mess us about, we wont listen to your dirty lies. its you whove got your fingers in the pie. people die, you dont question why, we wont study your lies, we wont eat your christmas pie, we wont eat dead animal pie, we wont eat nukiller pie, we wont eat your pie r squared, and if you really cared, neither would you.
