Der Songtext "State Schools Are Great Schools" von "TISM" thematisiert die Kritik an staatlichen Schulen. Der Text besch...

It's harsh, it's mean, it's brutal,
The people by nature are cruel;
It's a den of sin and they let kids in -
It's a government secondary school.

Children can't go into hotels,
There's movies they are not to see:
I can't see the sense of protecting innocence
When school is compulsory.

Some people see school as a machine
Where students are put through the sieve:
If they're deluged with society's values
How come they're still primitive?

Students' creativity is being stunted?
Hey buddy, don't make me laugh.
Some people berate 'cos schools socializate -
Man, they don't do it enough.

There's shit everywhere but the toilets;
You learn anywhere but in class;
There sex and drugs and knives and thugs -
"State schools are great schools" my arse.

The teachers are cynical and tired
Of students both cynical and dumb.
They get to fightin' - ad infinitum -
Only stops when the holidays come.

Private schools are rich and elitist,
The parents pick their kids up in the Merc:
State schools are around for the ideologically sound -
It's a shame they don't seem to work.
