Unseen Flirtations - Glass Ceiling [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

INTRO – Action Jackson speaks

VERSE 1
Uh – I really feel I’ve reached my ceiling
But all these PGCE students dreaming of maybe being
In the very situation I find myself in achieving
The thing that I am complaining about’s their reason for being
I’m seeing the situation more clearly than ever seen
I’m a teacher and I stay teachin’ I’m really living the dream
And I mean it - -
There’s 22 year-olds who want to be in
The middle of all this Chaos like Sonic getting some rings
And I’m on it
I’m living ambition it’s my reality, actually, I have planned to be where
I am exactly here
With nothing handed me, yeah
I’m at the top of the mountain and I’ve been clambering here
But now I’m here what I fear
Is that the top is just the bottom of another bigger ladder and it’s cold at the summit and so I shudder, it’s weird
I’m not complacent but jaded it’s fairly blatant meanwhile
A generation of mes – are waiting patiently here

Keep that fire…
Keep that spark…
Teach them children…
Reach that class...
The ceiling you’re seeing is weakened glass, so
Smash that
Crack that
Smash that
Crack that
(x2)

They want to be in the position that I claim to be
They want to be as busy as a bee in April’ll be
They want to be the teachers in the posters making the difference in the classroom I see it in all their faces, see?
They want to be in the position that I claim to be

VERSE 2
I see them watching and waiting and thinking they could be
Doing what I do – teaching students so gracefully
Slaloming through busy weeks I am a dangerously
Attractive advertisement for a job that can be craziliy
Crazy and crazy may be the only accurate cate-gory –
Category for the peopl’who want to trade with me
But I don’t blame them ‘cos teaching really is great and we
Really should not complain about little things such as pay but we…
Do
While you
New teachers
Come through
And you—
Might have to pay, 9k for the privilege so can I just say…
