Sitting on Your Status Quo

Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day?
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Are you ready to learn what History has to say?
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD
And as the History page is turned
We will see what we can learn
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
In 1776, Tom Paine was writing books with might and main
The Tory said «Now man alive
Stop giving out with this here liberty jive!»
«Stop giving out with this here liberty jive»
«Don't sing of people’s rights that way
They might believe in what you say
So stop your song, it’s not polite
Pipe down before you start a fight»
You don’t say, Teacher, is that right?
