A Song For Susan 歌词

Susan wants to be a secretary She has all the necessary requirements But since her mom left home, her dad's gone to pieces And she has to stay and look after Her brothers and sisters and all the housework. Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education. She was trying so hard in all her subjects And her school report made it clear That a little more concentration would make All the difference to her work. But the subject she needed a little more help in Was one that was not in the curriculum The subject she needed a little more help in Was one that was not on the time-table - About the art of combining washing and ironing And shopping and cooking and such . . . . With homework essays, exam revision, punctuality Prefect duties, choir practice, and Playing for the school netball team. Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education Oh what a waste of education. It's such a big responsibility When you're only sixteen years old And your friends are going out, buying new clothes Going to discos, talking boyfriends, Sending for college prospectuses
