Rubber Room Song - Jason Trachtenburg & Catherine Dudley



NYC Teachers are sent to Draconian Gulags awaiting Kafaka esque Trials. Jason takes up their plight.

Rubber Room (by P. Dejean & Jason Trachtenburg)
Rubber Room, we have padded walls to keep you here.
The beaurocracy it is crazy here.
An atrocity, no individuality is glorified
To conform in order to survive
There are those that call this dignified
But what comes from dignity is lack of creativity
In words to educate instead of miscommunicate
To a higher insubordinate
Teachers reassigned and misaligned
With punishment for commitments
To file claims
Legal action is our middle name
When you try to go against the grain
Leads to postulation, arbitration, education
The power points, a semesters tenure
Retention rights
Failing grades increase hostility
While receiving disability
Leaving teachers all alone
Dont disturb them with that calculated drone
Please be unique to who we are
And everybody escapes thus far.
