lyrics

I must admit that concert bands were once army
That explains why we color our language
With those terms that express violence
I’m calling teachers out to change this trend

Just take a look at all the words we use
When you start a note, it’s called an “attack”
Who the hell thought it was wise to equate music with killing?
This is beyond idiotic, and it needs to stop

Don’t just “watch” the words your students say
Listen to the underlying meaning your own messages portray
You might be using poisonous language
You might be using poisonous language

If you did a good job people might express
Their compliments in ways that may cause distress
You did well (You killed it!)
Won a game (Destroyed them!)
Made a song (Slayed!)
Got a job (Beat them all!)

Don’t just “watch” the words your students say
Listen to the underlying meaning your own messages portray
You might be using poisonous language
You might be using poisonous language

Don’t just “watch” the words your students say
Listen to the underlying meaning your own messages portray
You might be using poisonous language
You might be using poisonous language
Don’t just “watch” the words your students say
Listen to the underlying meaning your own messages portray
You might be using poisonous language
You might be using poisonous language
