What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine? [2X]
I learned that policemen are my friends,
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.

Till we're perfect enough to make no mistakes when executing people, we should not do so. We make lousy gods.
