No more ‘til September
A tacit overturning of policy
Without a blame of the science
Or a claim of the science
A victory won discreetly
By parents waging a quiet war
By simply ignoring the rule
By simply not sending their children to school

Work Is Safe (Tell ‘Em)
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Gove said that he can guarantee
Your total in-school safety
Then he said that nothing’s ever safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
A key part of his calculation
Is that the kids stay in formation
Like they would actually stay six feet apart
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Breathing is safer than talking
Talking is safer than walking and talking
And breathing and talking
And walking and talking
Are all safer than singing
And singing’s safer than coughing
And coughing’s safer than sneezing
So, if you’re sneezing and you’re coughing
And you’re coughing and you’re singing
And you’re singing and you’re walking
And you’re walking and you’re talking
And you’re talking and you’re breathing
Don’t let the risks accumulate
Don’t add the risks you have to take
To the risks that you don’t have to take
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Gove said that he can guarantee
Your total in-school safety
Then he said that nothing’s ever safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
The other thing that they advise
To radically reduce class size
No one knows where the extra classrooms are
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Breathing is safer than talking
Talking is safer than walking and talking
And breathing and talking
And walking and talking
Are all safer than singing
And singing’s safer than coughing
And coughing’s safer than sneezing
So, if you’re sneezing and you’re coughing
And you’re coughing and you’re singing
And you’re singing and you’re walking
And you’re walking and you’re talking
And you’re talking and you’re breathing
Don’t let the risks accumulate
Don’t add the risks you have to take
To the risks that you don’t have to take
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
Work is safe, tell ‘em work is safe
