These Schools Are Your Schools

Sing along.
Chorus

These schools are your schools,
These schools are kids schools;
No politicians or corporate raiders;
No bubble test sheets, or testing pencils
These schools were made for you and me.

Verse 1
As I was teaching that lesson of hist’ry,
I saw around me the wondrous myst’ry,
I saw around me the children smilin’;
These schools were made for you and me.

Chorus

Verse 4
In the shadow of Congress, I see our students;
By the corporate edicts, I see them testing;
As they sit here needy, I stand here asking,
Are these schools made for kids and me?

Chorus

Verse 5
Nobody living can ever stop us,
As we go teaching that freedom highway;
The corporate raiders can’t distract us;
These schools are made for kids and me.

Chorus
These schools are your schools,
These schools are kids schools;
No politicians or corporate raiders;
No bubble test sheets or testing pencils;
These schools are made for kids and me.
