Zero Tolerance Blues

Zero Tolerance Blues
0:00 / 0:00
Chorus:
  I got the fired four three two one Zero Tolerance blues,
  I got the fired four three two one Zero Tolerance blues,
  Last June it was them
  Next time it's me or you.

Verse 1:
  For five long years, the cafeteria served no food
  Overworked HEOs, underpaid staff it's all good
  The Brooklyn College bosses
  Tolerating all they could.
	(chorus)

Verse 2:
   The administration is a very tolerant crew,
   Toleratin' leakin' ceilings and broken bathrooms too,
   But a peaceful protest?
   They'll call the cops on you.
	(chorus)

Verse 3:
  Insufficient class offerings, students can't finish on time,
  Wifi dropping, understaffed services is fine
  But tolerance has an exception 
  That exception is "Palestine".
	(chorus)

Verse 4:
  Tolerance is a virtue, but not for the profs who stood
  Supporting our students just as faculty should
  The CUNY bosses have
  Zero tolerance for good.

Last Chorus:
  I got the fired four three two one Zero Tolerance blues,
  I got the fired four three two one Zero Tolerance blues,
  And now I find I'm losing my tolerance too.
