SpinTunes #5 Round 1 Challenge - The Beginning of the End. A song for those teachers whose schools have been closed down because of low test scores so they can be opened as union-less charter schools.

lyrics

Now I have nothing
The last bell has rung, they closed the door
The bureaucrats said we have failed
So for all of us there's no more
They'll start again with a charter school
Under heavy rule to turn a buck
Those of us who gave heart and tears
And many years are out of luck

What will I say to my children
What will I tell my bride
What will I say to my family and friends
When you've taken my pride

And I can't stop thinking
The game was rigged from the start
All the kids underprivileged
With single parents they broke my heart
Yet they're expected and tested
Just like the undeserving rich
When they fail they're still nothing
Because life is such a bitch

What will I say to my children
What do I say to my wife
What do I tell all those students
While bureaucrats play with their life

Don't throw away what needs fixing
Playing political games
You see poverty is the problem
Try to help you get the blame

How will I raise my family
How will I feed my kids
I just taught what I was taught
I gave all I could give
