Students, students, students

VERSE
F#m

Bm

How the privilege parade
When they don't get their fees paid

Asking me to pay for
Their education so they'll earn more
And take my job, when they say that I'm too old

"Education is our right
And for that we're prepared to fight"
For the right to party, and do very little work

CHORUS
F#m
Students, students, students
Bm
Put 'em in a boat
F#m
Students, students, students
Bm
One that doesn't float
C#m
And drown them all

CHORSE

The farcical will fall
As they leave with no skills at all
But a piece of paper, that says I'm educated

CHORUS

MIDDLE
And all this rioting over fees
That have to be paid back in tiny portions


VERSE
Well they're all holier than thou
And this it and how
I hated 'em all, even when I was one

Not a thing that I learned there
Did in any way prepare
Me for the real world, had to start again

And if I had my time again
I'd rip up the letter when
They said come on down, we're doing you a favour 

Cos they took from me three years
And ground me in the gears
Telling how it's done, and this is what you need to know

CHORUS
Teachers, teachers, teachers
Put 'em in a boat
Teachers, teachers, teachers
One that doesn't float
And drown them all
