Jack Horner — текст песни (Chumbawamba)

You see who`s over there in the corner?
Little Jack Horner, sat in a corner...
I say, I say, I say
Why`d Jack Horner sit in the corner?
The story goes it`s cos he had a square bum.
Well I`m telling you, that`s not absolutely true
He was told to sit there by his teacher.
Jack`s crime was this, he said, `teacher you are wrong, the British army killed a lot of people too. The empire`s built on the broken backs and the stolen land of all them blacks, all paid for out of your income tax.`
She said, `I won`t stand for that. Don`t give me your back chat, the headmaster will surely hear of this.`
She said, `Don`t speak until you`re spoken to. I`ll tell you what you can and can`t do. Now go and sit in that corner `till I get back.`
Jack was all alone
Struggling on his own
But when the head walked in the children made such a din
They said, `Jack get up, you got to get out. Don`t let them push you about, you know they`ll keep you in that corner `till you`re dead. Jack get out, don`t sell out, don`t compromise with Christmas pies, you know they`ll keep you in that corner `till you`re dead. Keep shouting back, you tell `em Jack, don`t swallow none of their crap, you know they`ll keep you in that corner `till you`re dead. Calling Jack Horners everywhere, don`t bend to authority which doesn`t care, you know they`ll keep you in that corner `till you`re dead.`
Jane got up, she helped jack out, she said, `Teachers don`t mess us about, we won`t listen to your dirty lies. It`s you who`ve got your fingers in the pie. People die, you don`t question why, we won`t study your lies, we won`t eat your Christmas pie, we won`t eat dead animal pie, we won`t eat nukiller pie, we won`t eat your pie R squared, and if you really cared, neither would you.`
