‘School’s Out Forever’

School kids working factories or maybe down the mine.
History repeats itself. Give this baby time.
They don’t need no ABC’s when con’s the bottom line.
Two and two do not add up. The system is the crime.
Underemployed children are the scourge of working nations.
K through twelve have up to now been on some long vacations.
Our workforce will incorporate them through dire machinations.
They’ll get ‘fair’ pay and then, mid-day, be treated to C-rations.
They’ll get time outs to play outside on the merry-go-round.
We know if we work them too hard, they’ll go underground.
No more under-employment then, the reasoning is sound.
Hard proof the world’s most heartless leader right here can be found.

Just send your kids to school, fool,
never mind their health.
Their future is nothing
without this country’s wealth.
So they get sick.
They’ll heal up quick.
It’s like a sacrifice.
And some will die. Boo hoo, we’ll cry.
But it will turn out nice.
Our bounceback will be world renowned,
the best by many measures,
despite the bodies underground
and trashing all our treasures.
