MC PAUL BARMAN - Paullelujah lyrics
What will we do when we have our own kids
give 'em twelve year bids just after the bars come of the cribs
work within the system, make 'em listin'
to the darkest lecture in the architecture
of a prison full of purity guards, security guards
that's sure to be hard
recess [ringing]
rush hurridley to the yard
back to school nights are visitation rights
boredom is the warden
they'd be less ignored in private schools
but can you afford them?
and even then they're fair to midland
they fiddled with inmates' diddles
and now they got the Ritalin
A.D.D.
another dumb doctor's complicity
I'm about to substitute teach no T.R.A.C.T.
so when the states fail
and they can't make bail
we'll hold a jail brake slash fake bake sale
slow in the uptake
whe're blowin this cupcake
there is a file mile wide
with the reviled style guide
(maybe we ought to sing your praises more, boss. Sing?
Did you say sing? Of course!)
Paullelujah
current events, comparison contrasts
cause and effects, embarrassing bombast
five paragraphs each starts with a topic sentence
or hook for pop ascendants
so much pop of course people stop attendance
and this court loves to drop defendants
let me see how illusion is spelled
98 percent of the graduates matriculate
because the other ones got expelled
and then you know where they go
(meanwhile at police headquarters)
we could rehabeducate with the art
but we ain't got paint
you can take you budgetary constraints
and shove em up you hairy taint
that means you principle ass-wipe!
you're worse for class than grass in a glass pipe
this isn't hyperbole
this is reality, verbally
and we don't want weekends, we need every day between
if you're dead out when you're twenty
you're old when you're fifteen
I know - I'll reopen the black mountain school
and bring back to us the abacus as a counting tool
y'all know what time it is
this is my Bauhaus
We run around when it's nice out
and nobody kowtows
