Teachers are under attack.

Slash the payrolls.

Slash the benefits.

Slash, slash, slash.

Don’t you understand?

We are out of cash.

You’re earning way too much.

Your benefits are too grand.

Your pensions are killing us.

Things are getting out of hand.

We really appreciate your services,

But times are really tough.

So goodbye wages and benefits.

Enough is enough is enough.

If it sounds like we are picking on you,

Well now you know the truth.

In order to fix our budgetary woes,

We must sacrifice our youth.
