SONGS:
A Song for Teachers - You Have Made A Difference
A Song for Teachers - You Have Made A Difference
Pink Floyd - We Don't Need No Education
(helicopter in background)
(beat)
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would hurt the children any way they could
A boring ready region upon anything we did exposing every weakness how the kid did bye the kid (laughter)
Out in the middle of nowhere
they were at home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives would beat them,
to within inches of their lives
(beat)
We don´t need no education
We don´ t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the class room
Teachers leave those kids alone
(yells) Hey, teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all, it's just a
Nother brick in the wall
All in all, you're just a
Nother brick in the wall
(british kids)
We don´t need no education
We don´t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the class room
Teachers leave those kids alone
(yells) Hey, teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all, it's just a
Nother brick in the wall
All in all, you're just a
Nother brick in the wall
(beat)
If u dont eat ur meat u kant have ne pudding

The Wombats School uniforms
Lyrics to School Uniforms :
It all started on the school bus,
You were 9 and I was 10,
Remember you had a Walkman,
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise,
Whatever happened to her?
Then is all went downhill,
You grew tall I stayed the same,
I guess that's just puberty,
Making us boys all play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I'm glad I'm not back in school
She got an older boyfriend (how could she?)
Had a beard,
Smoked Marlboro red,
How can I compete with that? (how can he?)
I don't even know the location of the bike sheds
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I remember short skirts,
Long hair,
My hormones flying everywhere
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I'm glad I'm not back in school
You were 9 and I was 10,
Remember you had a Walkman,
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise,
Whatever happened to her?
Then is all went downhill,
You grew tall I stayed the same,
I guess that's just puberty,
Making us boys all play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I'm glad I'm not back in school
She got an older boyfriend (how could she?)
Had a beard,
Smoked Marlboro red,
How can I compete with that? (how can he?)
I don't even know the location of the bike sheds
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I remember short skirts,
Long hair,
My hormones flying everywhere
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you,
I always found it hard to work things through,
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I'm glad I'm not back in school
