School - We're Here in School Today to Get a Perfect Education

BOYS
We're here in school today to get a perfect
education,
Yes, we're going up.
We're keen to learn the rules and laws that
civilization taught us,
Yes, we're growing up.
Not for ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.

Our teachers say that ignorance will always
drag us down,
It's like a nagging cough.

SHANTY (thrown away)
But I can say that looking back,
The most important thing I found was
sagging off!
Not for the whole world,
But for yourself were you born.
And you were...

SHANTY and BOYS
Born in Liverpool.

BOYS
Not Birmingham
Nor Edinburgh.
Not Manchester
Or Sunderland.

SHANTY
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.

BOYS
This school is good for us.

SHANTY
This school is only good for those
Who want to learn from books.

You'll lose your sense of purpose...

BOYS
But we dare not answer back,
We're scared of teacher's looks.
Not for ourselves,
But for the whole world were we born.
And we were born in Liverpool.

SHANTY
Not Coventry

HEADMASTER
Or Solihull.

BOYS
Not Scarborough

SHANTY
Nor Inverness.
Being born where you were born
Carries with it certain responsibilities.
