Starting as soon as you wake with lessons in your head
Automatic driving wishing you were at home in bed
School gates closed waiting for the madness to begin
Preparing your face for the lasting teacher’s grin
Not just a teacher but a parent, carer, doctor or nurse
Trying to achieve while the government tightens its purse
After school club takes the pressure away for a while
But then back at the desk with work that stretches a mile
If you have a family then they take second best
Your partner and your children beg you to rest
The unseen hours that tick away at your life
Governments stabbing you with the education knife
If we only worked 9 to 5 the job wouldn’t get done
We put in the hours so your children can have fun
Children learning to be the best that they can be
Everyone of them developing is all we want to see
League tables and lists have spoilt the profession
Targets and levels have become an obsession
We all fight to keep the enthusiasm alive
That’s why we never will work 9 to 5!
