No Good

F. Rzewski

What did you learn in school today?

I learned that I'm no good.

Who told you that?

The teacher.

Don't believe it!

Don't believe it.

If I can't believe the teacher,

why do I have to go to school?

Because if you don't, I will be punished.

Isn't there a place where we can live

where I don't have to go to school,

and you will not be punished?

No.

Then the world is no good.

Tell that to the teacher.
