Teacher's Argument Letra

Artist are special, celestial fools Blessed with a talent for breaking the rules Unfit for confinement in cubical schools Artists are special Artists are people, not primitive fools They learn what to do before breaking the rules They know that the brain is the finest of tools Artists are people Whether in theater or music or dance They have to be given the chance Fly by the seat of their pants! To develop their minds And be nurtured like plants Artists are part of the same human race As everyone else in this same bloody lpace You learn to survive or you fall on your face Artists or not! Artists or not! I`ve seen them come and go for all these years Kids with not talent for anything more than carrying spears Another year, another shipment Lacking the drive or the style or the basic equipment This one is different, i tell you, this one can dance This one is special, i tell you, give him a chance! What did they tell me when i was a girl? Learn! Day after day when i was a girl? Learn! The land of dreams waits over the meadow If you can find your way out of the ghetto Learn! Learn! Put your faith in books, that will protect you Put your faith in books and a mind of your own Neither charm nor looks will make them respect you You must learn to stand, you must learn to stand alone! This one is different, put your faith in books This one can dance, put your faith in books Artists are special, artists are people This one must have the chance! This one must have the chance!
