Room 223 - Adolescents

Today’s lesson in civics at

Walt Whitman High

Come to school locked and loaded

At the Altar of the Gun, testify

Junior in the grandstand Sweet M-16

(Room 223)

Running late, can’t hesitate

You know what I mean

(Room 223)

Dixon armed to teeth in a bullet-proof vest

(Room 223)

No hesitation, pull the pin

Put your Right to Kill at rest

Want easy action?

Public education isn’t free

Kids fight for the right

To die in American democracy

No hesitation, pull the pin

Put your Right to Kill at rest

Another wide eyed boy from Babylon

Wants to top the maximum score

Nineteen and counting

Levels up, then shoots some more

Scratch your head and ask yourself

Is this what it means to be free?

Want easy action?

Public education isn’t free

Kids fight for the right

To die in American democracy
