| There was a hearing | |
| The rules were broken by one | |
| Followed by another | |
| The evidence was presented | |
| An overwhelming list of infractions | |
| An overwhelming representation | |
| Of one's maladjustment to the system | |
| The hearing was about him | |
| About his attitude | |
| About his behavior | |
| He is, he represents | |
| No, he embodies the problem | |
| If he is expelled, the problem | |
| Will go away | |
| Responsibility | |
| Relationship | |
| Mutuality | |
| Our solution | |
| A person with a problem | |
| I believe there's no such thing | |
| As a person with a problem | |
| If there is a problem it's a problem with the system | |
| The system of home and family | |
| Of school and community | |
| He is not in this alone | |
| He is not the problem | |
| A reflection of the system | |
| A mirror image of ourselves and our work | |
| We acknowledge not all kids fit | |
| Our ancillary design | |
| And when they don't fit | |
| They become the problem | |
| The problem | |
| Expel the problem | |
| Make it go away | |
| Expel the problem | |
| Make it go away, make it go away | |
| Make it go away |
