Chris Port Blog #39: Marty Gull Song #18. Education’s Pointless

It’s five a.m. A dog that barks
At a glow of metal sparks
A train that rattles slowly past
And open eyes that see the dark-

[Simultaneous] -ness/-Yes education’s pointless
Its waiting for the jobless
And we have nothing left to teach them now

The management have games to play
Mortgages and holidays
Their pay rise with our lives we pay
And every day is endless grey-

[Simultaneous] -ness/-Yes education’s pointless
Its waiting for the jobless
And we have nothing left to teach them now

The budget and the balance sheet
The broken men who know they’re beat
The management that lie and cheat
Deceiving us with oh such sweet-

[Simultaneous] -ness/-Yes education’s pointless
Its waiting for the jobless
And we have nothing left to teach them now

The man who stands up for what’s right
Is on his own and serve him right
He might as well lay down and die
At five a.m. what sign of bright-

[Simultaneous] –ness?/-Yes education’s pointless
Its waiting for the jobless
And we have nothing left to teach them now...

And Marty’s nothing left to live for now...
