Oh the student Y has found a new vocation,
Poisoning the studentsâ minds
The leaders by astute manipulation
Poisoning the studentsâ minds
Big men bold men filled with sneering pride
Behind the smiling countenance they hide
Spiritual arsenic moral cyanide
Theyâre poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the
studentsâ minds
Thereâs just one thing that they forgot to mention
The student hasnât got a mind
So itâs safe to hold this great convention
The student hasnât got a mind
But if our leaders hear this dreadful news
We are sure that their senses they would lose
So weâll just let them go on thinking if they chose
Theyâre poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the
studentsâ minds
Theyâre poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the
studentsâ minds
Oh Uncle Will has sent away our brother
For poisoning the studentsâ minds
But heâll find out thereâll always be another
Poisoning the studentâs minds
Heâd rather have us stick to evening prayers
And stop meddling in national affairs
âcause that doesnât suit the millionaires
Weâre poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ
Weâre poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ, poisoning the studentsâ
