My mother worked 15 hours 5 days a week

My mother worked 16 hours 6 days a week

My mother worked 17 hours 7 days a week

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

Mother

My mother worked 15 hours 5 days a week

My mother worked 16 hours 6 days a week

My mother worked 17 hours 7 days a week

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

The best way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

I know nothing

I’m just sitting here looking at pretty colours

Mother

Fucker

Sexual violence doesn’t start and end with rape

It starts in our books and behind our school gates

Men are scared women will laugh in their face

Whereas women are scared it’s their lives men will take

Mother

Fucker
