A Song For Susan lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics A Song For Susan lyrics 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. song lyrics
