Another Brick on the Floor

Not a Song

Kids sitting around on their stools

They were no fools

Some thought they were cool

But the teacher ruled

Sometimes she could be cruel

She didn't miss a trick

She was super quick

Usually targeted Mick

That's when he didn't call in sick

Then all the kids cried and said

We don't need no more information

Some cried discrimination

Might have been an insinuation

They all sat quietly at their station

It seemed that their education had no relation

They were just stating about the true situation

Then the headmaster came through the door

Said he would like to call

Some said he was a bore

Someone to deplore

He tried to lay down the law

But all chose to ignore

Found him a chore

Hated him to the core

There were laughs galore

But not one applaud

Then the kids said there was just another brick on the floor

For Fun
