Chumbawamba Jack Horner Lyrics:
You see who's over there in the corner? Little

telling you, that's not absolutely true He was
told to sit there by his teacher. Jack's crime was

army killed a lot of people too. The empire's
built on the broken backs and the stolen land of

But when the head walked in the children made such
a din They said, 'Jack get up, you got to get out.
Don't let them push you about, you know they'll

get out, don't sell out, don't compromise with
Christmas pies, you know they'll keep you in that
corner 'till you're dead. Keep shouting back, you
tell 'em Jack, don't swallow none of their crap,
you know they'll keep you in that corner 'till
you're dead. Calling Jack Horners everywhere,
don't bend to authority which doesn't care, you
know they'll keep you in that corner 'till you're
dead.' Jane got up, she helped jack out, she said,
'Teachers don't mess us about, we won't listen to
your dirty lies. It's you who've got your fingers
in the pie. People die, you don't question why, we
won't study your lies, we won't eat your Christmas
pie, we won't eat dead animal pie, we won't eat
nukiller pie, we won't eat your pie R squared, and
if you really cared, neither would you.'
