Lyrics

There's too many people planning your downfall
When your spirit's on trial these nights can be frightening
Sleep transports sadness to some other mid-brain
And somebody here will not be here next year

So you stand by the board full of fear and intention
And if you think that they're listening
Well, you've got to be joking
Oh you understand change and you think it's essential
But when your profession is humiliation...

Say the wrong word to our children
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
Lay a hand on our children
And it's never too late to have you

Mucus on your collar
A nail up through the staff chair
A blade in your soap
And you cry into your pillow

To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief

Say the wrong word to our children
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you
Lay a hand on our children
And it's never too late to have you

To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
To be finished would be a relief
