California's gov is broke
And where're the savings drawn?
From nightmares we've awoke
To see our  teachers gone?!

Those gallant soldiers of coming time
Shall be commanded. But!
Forcing their leave's a hateful crime
In wake of budget cut?!

The deepened, gaping, growing hole
In Life we'd only face
If it isn't tearing at our soul
To leave an empty space

Why's it that we have to lose
The ones we need the most?
Without them, our brighter views
Of future's but a ghost?

To where did they disappear
But a tax that tries to save?!
To us the teachers are more dear
Than the state gov's taxful grave
