Lifeboat

Lifeboat (Now The Truth Can Be Told Album Version) - Steve Taylor

Good morning class

Good morning Mrs Aryan

Today we're going to play a game

Yeah

This game is called lifeboat all together

Lifeboat

Good lifeboat is a lesson in values clarification

Can you say values clarification

No

Values clarification is where your

Little minds decide

Which lives are worth living and

Which lives are worth not living

Now here's how we play

A big ship just sank

There are five people on the lifeboat

But the lifeboat is only made for two

I'll list the five people on the chalkboard

And you class will decide

Which three will be thrown overboard are we ready

Yes Mrs Aryan

Good first there's an old

Old crippled grandfather

Second there's a mentally

Handicapped person in a wheelchair

What's mentally handicapped

It means they can never be a

Productive members of society

Third there's an overweight woman on welfare

With a sniffling whimpering baby

Is the baby on welfare too

Let's not push Mrs Aryan

Who else is in the boat

A young white doctor with blue

Eyes and perfect teeth and Joan Collins

Now class take five minutes to make your decision

Times up well class

Throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty old

Throw out the baby or we'll all be catching it's cold

Throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float

Throw out the retard and they won't be rocking the boat

Very good that was fun wasn't it

Yes Mrs Aryan

For our next lesson

We're going to do an experiment

Yeah

We're going to test the law of gravity

Just like Galileo

By dropping two objects out the window

One heavy and one light

To test which one hits the sidewalk first

Now what shall we use for the lighter object

I'm thinking of something small and square

An eraser

Good and what shall we use for the heavy object

I'm thinking of something round and bouncy

Tommy I haven't given you permission to leave your seat

Class class the bell has not rung

What are you class put me down class

Put me down this instant

What what are you

Throw over teacher and we'll see if she can bounce

We've learned our lesson teacher says perfection's what counts

She's getting old and gray and wears an ugly coat

Throw over teacher and we'll play another game of lifeboat

Throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty old

Throw out the baby or we'll all be catching it's cold

Throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float

Throw out the retard and they won't be rocking the boat yeah
