#title The Ballad of Brenda Spencer #author Bob Black #SORTtopics Poetry #date 1979 #source http://www.inspiracy.com/black/abolition/spencer.html #lang en #pubdate 2021-03-11T14:00:04 Monday morning, just another day Doing everything the teachers say Brenda’s tired of doing what she’s told Tired of being young and feeling old Brenda Spencer hasn’t lost her pride She gets off on pedagogicide! Hear what Brenda’s got to say “Sniping livens up my day. I don’t like Mondays anyway!” Brenda’s tired of following the rules Tired of sucking up to evil fools Little did the grown-ups realize Brenda’s gonna cut them down to size! Rather than behave herself today Brenda blew the principal away! Six long hours, half a day Brenda held the pigs at bay Wanna know the reason why? Brenda’d rather kill than die All the experts say that Brenda’s sick They get paid to pull that dirty trick Teachers, don’t tell Brenda what to do She knows how to deal with scum like you Ah! the gladness, sadness, madness, fun Growing from the barrel of her gun! Monday morning, just another day Doing everything the teachers say Brenda’s tired of doing what she’s told Tired of being young and feeling old Brenda Spencer hasn’t lost her pride She gets off on pedagogicide!
