Public
One of the hardest places to work,

It's 9 -to -5 or rather 8 -to -3,
it's really 5 (C minor) -to -9
Ain't a
(G major) P if it's your (C major) job, place (D major) nothing above it
(G major) You make more in other places
while higher property tax on less faces
(D major) But if that's what you're coming (C major) for,
you oughta ask yourself
If this is where you really wanna (G major) be
To help you ride or try to paint (D major) a picture
Y 'all, (G major) one class, 31 students,
32 chairs, 25 desks
I guess they gotta share
(C major) Nineteen textbook (C minor) s and
most (C major) of it's in pages
(C minor) Junior (C major) high,
three (G major) grades for six (D major) different ages
(G major) Teachers and janitors double as deans
Deans double as se (D major) curity guards
Crime scene investig (C major) ators
Older (C minor) teachers need respir
(G major) ators at elevators
The bad odors from the back
(D major) stairs are made (G minor) up
Go (G major) to
Gosha
Vegas
Use condoms in puddles of piss
Try not to (D major) slip during the fire drill
(C minor) Every now and then a scandal
might reach the paper
(C major) For every story,
(G major) there's thirty in (D major) the category
(G major) Hard work and progress on
display in the hallways
(D major) de moralized and vandalized
(G major) every day
(C major) Lesson (C minor) s cut short to prep
for tests that only
test (G major) how well you prep,
man I wonder why the (D major) score's a mess
(B minor) Knuckleheads beggin' (G major) for
detention (B minor) on suspension
Truth (G major) be told,
they really only (D major) crave attention
(B minor) Some kids showin' up
unprepared and dirty
Cause they (G major) parents gotta
punch in by (D major) 7 .30
(B minor) Shit, some of the parents 7 .30
They put (G major) the wrong kids
on pills to be still
fiendin' (D major) for refills
(B minor) Principles with no principles
Priorities political, pedagogical,
plannin' is (D major) pitiful
(B minor) Low on tolerance, (G major) high on ridicule
Even the infirmary's inhos (D major) pitable
As (B minor) sembly required,
metal detect (G major) ors
Seeming unjust,
but inspired by shots (D major) fired
Terms (B minor) lack zero tolerance in lockdown
(G major) Aging out, if (D major) you ask me,
does not sound (B minor) like education
But I suppose that's a cause and effect
(G major) When the city spends more
on (D major) in carceration
Wel (G major) come to
Brooklyn
Public
One of the hardest places to work
So please don't (D major) ap ply unless
(G major) you really are (C major) real
It's not (C minor) a 5 or rather 8 to 3,
(D major) it's really 5 to 9, 8 to
P if it's your (C major) job, place (D major) nothing above
Just (G major) make more in other places,
while higher property tax and less faces
(D major) But if that's what you're going (C major) for,
you ought to ask yourself if this is where you really want (C minor) to be
Set (C major) up your body,
try to paint (D major) a picture, you (B minor) know
Roll the walls with me, so many characters,
(G major) some sweet, some (D major) shippy
Some laugh, some (B minor) quiet,
some trust and some don't buy it, don't try it
Some (G major) will try to squash (B minor) people,
some (D major) start riot (B minor) s
Some are motivated, some are lazy,
some (G major) are genius and some are crazy
The line (D major) between is hazy, (B minor)
some will love you, some will hate you, some will need you, some will spite you
Some are thankful, some are ungrateful
(D major) (G major) Some are there and really care about
what's being learned and (D major) taught
They fought through it when
they got stuck
(C major) Some are there till (C minor) the bell rings,
(C major) run through the day without (D major) thinking
Cause they really don't give a fuck (G minor)
Some (G major) will run, some will fight,
some will tell
Some might change the world,
some (D major) are early to the (G major) grave or jail
(C major) Some are so complicated,
some (C minor) are so simple
Some a student, some (G major) a teacher,
some (D major) a principal
(G major) Welcome to
Brooklyn
Public, one of the hardest places to work
So please don't apply unless
you're giving up (C major) your earn
It's not a 5 or rather (C minor) 8 to 3,
it's really 5 to 9
A to
P if it's your job,
place (D major) nothing above for (G major) real
You make more in other places while
higher property tax and less faces
But if that's what you're pumping, (C major)
you oughta (C minor) ask yourself
If this is where you (C major) really wanna be,
to (D major) help you ride or (G major) try to paint (D major) a picture of (G major) it
Come upstairs,
keep roaming the halls with me
So many characters,
some sweet, (D major) some shifty
(C major) Like I said, are complicated,
(C minor) some are simple
Some (G major) are students, some are (D major) teachers,
some are principals
(G major) The littlest thugs walk
like they are invincible
(D major) Uh, comical, just look (C major) at little
Dexter (D major)
Yo, (C major) he got the type of
Napoleon complex to
Skip in front of
Devin twice his size just (D major) to get him vexed
(G major) But
Devin's a gentle giant
Thirteen, five foot eleven
(D major) His mom's a nurse and
his dad's a rever (C major) end
Every now and then he gets a reverend
