Homework by Reegan C.

Why do they tell you what to do?

What to wear?

What to say?

Why do they tell you what to do?

Because all we want to do is play

Because all we want to do is say

Why do they tell you what to do?

After all of the work that is done

After all of the work that was no fun

It's not school or work or a job

This thing I do makes me sob

I don't know what it's called, but

y big spirit will just fall

Why do they tell you what to do?

There will be no songs

There will be no getting along

Why do they tell you what to do?

Why don't we start a riot?

Why are we still quiet?

Why do they tell you what to do?

My feelings are down

My feelings show a frown

I want to stay up all night

I want to stay until the sky has light

I want to have happiness and joy

I want to have nothing to annoy,

me any longer

I couldn't have a boss stranger,

meaner, more hateful

a traitor to his own kind!
