Sam Parker – School Of Optimism lyrics

Up in the morning and into school,
All these early mornings just ain't cool,
And the headteachers warnings are total drool,
You should get the message around.

We've got maths at 9 and science at 10,
All the things we know we have to learn again,
See if I was in charge of the system,
It would be a school of optimism.

See you could have a day off
Whenever you please,
And if you liked
You could just stay at home and watch TV.

You see if I was in charge of the system,
It would be a school of optimism.

There'd be no more teachers
And no more maths,
And if you hated a lesson
You could miss that class.

See if I was in charge of the system,
It would be a school of optimism.

No more warnings
Saying "Don't come in late",
Stay at home, or go on a date,
We've got to keep this school in a total state!

For if I was in charge of the system,
It would be a school of optimism.

So lock up the teachers and throw away the key,
No more maths, science or history.
We're going down in history,

It would be a school of optimism.
It would be a school of optimism.
If I was in charge of the system,
It would be a school of optimism...

I said lock up the teachers and throw away the key,
We're going down in history
For making this school,
A school of optimism.

You see now I'm in charge of the system,
This will be a school of optimism.
