Broadways Jonathan Kozol was Right Lyrics:
i read a book the other day about public schools
in our nation an indictment of our prevailing
caste system it semes so many things i've taken
for granted others cant access at all i ditched
computer class while others had no books i learned

blocked by the lid? disribute property tax more
fairly at least that's a start cuz little flowers
can't grow in the darkness they need everything
we've got.
