The song features a sample from the 1952 film "[[Eight O'Clock Walk]]":<pre> | |||
"I'm very glad the spring has come/The sun shines out so bright/All the birds that are on the trees/Are singing for delight."</pre><br> | |||
The song also uses a loop created by Boz Boorer that uses Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 in D Minor. | |||

<poem> | |||
There's too many people planning your downfall | |||
When your spirit's on trial these nights can be frightening | |||
Sleep transports sadness to some other mid-brain | |||
And somebody here will not be here next year | |||
So you stand by the board full of fear and intention | |||
And if you think that they're listening | |||
Well, you've got to be joking | |||
Oh you understand change and you think it's essential | |||
But when your profession is humiliation... | |||
Say the wrong word to our children | |||
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you | |||
Lay a hand on our children | |||
And it's never too late to have you | |||
Mucus on your collar | |||
A nail up through the staff chair | |||
A blade in your soap | |||
And you cry into your pillow | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
Say the wrong word to our children | |||
We'll have you, oh yes, we'll have you | |||
Lay a hand on our children | |||
And it's never too late to have you | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
To be finished would be a relief | |||
