Someone had a dream for the world To try and help the little boys and girls But all the kids didn't play too nice They ran around in greed and blamed others for their lies
The kids argued and fought in the playground They hurt each other as parents tried to calm them down The principle explained the rules of how kids should get along The head boy agreed but the parents said it was wrong
Morning assembly with a chat and a prayer One child was late because he slept to dream a dare The teachers punished him but this child didn't care He said the prayer was wrong and that he didn't belong there
First lesson of the day was double religious education Some had faith in their work of an essay with explanations But a support teacher forced them to rewrite it after taking a look The kids reluctantly agreed and received a gold star for their book
Break time and many playground wars were won and lost Over conkers, kiss chase and hop scotch Head boy said he could beat the lot But the bell sounded and wars are not forgot
Second lesson of the day was history The teacher dimmed the lights as they watched a black and white documentary Some boys fell asleep because they wanted to play Call Of Duty The teacher asked questions but the boys answered with lies through gritted teeth
The lunch bell sounded and one boy was unhappy He ate a packed lunch alone while his friends ate hot food in the canteen He asked the dinner lady for a drink of water But she was too busy preparing a meal for her own daughter
After lunch was a lesson in science The head boy smiled at the biology pictures in silence While the teacher dissected a frog with violence He explained the reproductive organs and asked the kids if they had any questions A curious child asked where the frogs soul was and if the teacher had a medical licence
Another break and challenges resume in the playground games Head boy is angry and looks at others to blame His father is a general but he doesn't share his surname Said he has a surrogate as his father is over seas again
Final lesson of the day is social studies They go on a field trip by bus but the driver is in a hurry He's rushing cos his common law wife's onboard and just gone into labour He tells the kids it'll be a boy he'll name Darwin and do they know who he's named after
Back at school and late from the bus trip The kids tell parents the driver had a baby girl who was sick She didn't develop properly and their science teacher helped deliver her But his medical licence wasn't valid and the parents all gasped in fear
The morning papers report how a teacher abused some kids How the school allowed him to get away with it The bus driver gave the world his confession On how science had changed his boy and that he blamed the schools evolution
