There's nothing non-teachers love more
Than complaining about us while keeping us poor
They look at us in our classrooms writing with our chalk
And they throw criticism at us just so we don’t talk.
Take all the detractors, their complaints are loaded
Uh-oh, but little do they know
That their educators, teachers, support staff, admins
Don’t listen to the TV and instead they’re at—
Teachers!
(Work, work!) support staff!
And admins (work, work!)
The educators!
Teachers! support staff! admins! (Work!)
People said to do more by sundown
People don't even know
People said why are you so rundown?
Like I said, we're free to go
But look around, look around
Share My Lesson is sending you to New York (New York)
Teachers (work!)
It's bad enough people are at war.
Talking heads putting teachers in a square
It's bad enough educators are running far
No one coming up for any air
Look around, look around
Teachers, remind me what we're looking for
We're lookin' for you!
Support staff, I'm lookin' for support at work (work)
I'm lookin' for support at work (work)
I'm lookin' for support at work (work)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-ooh, whoa-oh-oh (work!)
Whoo! There's nothin' like people being shifty
Officials in a rush and dictating to us by committee
Excuse me, teachers, I know it's not funny
But your CRT and books will cost you a lot of money
Why you carin' about armed teachers in schools with conceals?
Your teachin' is safe if we take away your ideals.
Man, you disgust me
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm elected, baby, you can trust me
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
Some people say we're understaffed and underpaid.
You want a revolution? I want a revelation.
So listen to my declaration.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all professionals are created equal.
And when I meet the future voters (yes!)
I'm gonna compel them to include educators in the sequel. Work!
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to survive the school year now.
Look around, look around
All they want to do is arm us now.
History is happening for 2 million
SML is sending you to the greatest city in the world
To the greatest city in the world!
'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine (look around, look around)
