Title: Teachers Arguement


Lyrics: Artists are special celestial fools
 Blessed with a talent for breaking the rules
 Unfit for confinement in cubical schools
 Artists are special.
 
 Artists are people, not primitive fools
 They learn what to do before breaking the rules
 They know that the brain is the finest of tools
 Artists are people
 
 Whether in theatre or music
 or dance
 They have to be given the chance ...
 
 To fly by the seat of their pants!
 
 To develop their minds!
 
 to be nurtured like plants
 
 Artists are part of the same human race
 As everyone else in this same bloody place
 you learn to survive or you fall on your face
 Artist or not! Artist or not!
 
 I've seen them come and go for all these years
 Kids with no talent for anything more
 Than carrying spears
 Another year, another shipment
 Lacking the drive, or the style, or the basic equipment
 This one is different!
 
 And I can see me, then...unremarkable me
 The kid in the ballet class, the princess I wanted to be
 Tutu and point shoes, hair in a bun,
 Completely unnoticed, as if I were no one...
 This one is different, I tell you,
 This one can dance,
 This one is special, I tell you
 Give him a chance
 
 What did they tell me when I was a girl
 Learn!
 Day after day when I ws a girl
 Learn!
 
 The land of dreams waits over the meadow,
 If you can find your way out of the ghetto
 Learn! Learn!
 
 Put your faith in books
 That will protect you
 Put your faith in books
 And a mind of your own
 Neither charm nor looks
 Will make them respect you
 you must learn to stand, you must learn to stand alone!
 
 Picture a little girl in glasses and braids
 A little starched dress, at the end of the corridoor
 She's holding to the wall, waiting for the bell to ring
 Praying for the day to end
 Forcing herself to go back to her class again
 Hearing her mama's words "put your faith in books"
 This one is different
 Put your faith in books!
 This one can dance
 Put your faith in books
 
 Artists are special
 Artists are people
 
 This one must have a chance
 This one must have a chance
