To
be sung to the tune of “I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die” by Country Joe and the
Fish (see video below)
Well
come on all you teachers and tykes,
Uncle
Sam’s made a problem he’s tryin’ to hype,
He
got himself some pressure to privatize,
All
the schools in the nation right before our eyes,
So
put down your books and grab a #2,
We've
got a whole lot of testin’ to do.
And
its 1,2,3 what are we learning for?
Don't
ask me I don't have a say,
It's high stakes testing day,
And
its 5,6,7 send in Melinda Gates,
Well
there ain’t no time to do your best,
WHOOPEE
we've all got more tests.
Well
come on Pearson let's move fast,
Your
big chance is come at last,
Gotta
expose the schools with the lowest scores,
A
little Common Core and we can grow ‘em some more,
And
the global economy can only be won,
With
public schools blown to kingdom come.
And
its 1,2,3 what are we learning for?
Don't
ask me I don't give a damn,
My
school is made for VAM,
And
its 5,6,7 send in Melinda Gates,
Well
there ain’t no time to do your best,
WHOOPEE
we've all got more tests.
Well
come on Wall Street do your part,
To
fund charter schools without music or art,
Who
said public money can’t make us rich,
While
pushing our democracy into the ditch,
Just
hope and pray that if our plan does bomb
They’ll
blame the white suburban moms.
And
its 1,2,3 what are we learning for?
Don't
ask me I don't have a say,
It's
high stakes testing day,
And
its 5,6,7 send in Melinda Gates,
Well
there ain’t no time to do your best,
WHOOPEE
we've all got more tests.
Well
come on mothers across the USA,
Get
your children all set for more testing days,
Come
on fathers don't hesitate,
Set
your sons down for test prep before its too late,
Or
be the first district in your town,
To
trade your school for a turnaround.
And
its 1,2,3 what are we learning for?
Don't
ask me I don't have a say,
It's high stakes testing day,
And
its 5,6,7 send in Melinda Gates,
Well
there ain’t no time to do your best,
WHOOPEE
we've all got more tests.
