Bells

Only For The Educated

Curriculum content

Student discontent

Cram cram

Drill it in deep

Admin tape red

Coffee

Lack of sleep

Raise your voice

But not against the machine

Must tighten lips on the social engineering

What grooming?

Didn't see a thing

Or listen

To what's cooking in domestic kitchens

No time for that

Exams to measure

Filling in the deails

Grades and judgments

Pigeon holes and staffroom gossips

Praise the winners

Token gestures

Comply and buy

Rewards and punishments

Fake it till you make it

Rehearsed critical thinking sounding is critical

Let's not acknowledge it's criminal

Numbers or citizens

It's jungle fever and pecking order

Ignore the ones with no money for lunch order

"Devil help the hind amost"

I smell something burning

They must be toast

"Ding!"

Ready for society

Under nurtured

Unloved

Money hungry

Bank-prey grill (well done)

Bosses have their slaves

And the Temple is filled with clanging gongs
