"Cuts Hurt" Live! March 4th SF Rally ~Angry Tired Teachers~

Angry Tired Teachers live performance of "Cuts Hurt" before a crowd of 10,000+ on March 4th, 2010 at the "No Cuts to Education" Mass Rally, Civic Center, San Francisco, CA.

Over ten thousand people gathered in front of City Hall in San Francisco for the culmination of impassioned, peaceful protests around the Bay Area and California. Students of all ages, parents, and teachers took to the streets and schoolyards to voice dissatisfaction with continuing cuts to public education.

"Cuts Hurt" song by the Angry Tired Teachers, a rock band of educators from Hayward, California.

This song is a protest against the budget cuts affecting California schools.

"Cuts Hurt" is a remake of the rock classic "Love Hurts" written and composed by Boudleaux Bryant and Felice Bryant.

New lyrics by Andrew Kong Knight of the Angry Tired Teachers.

The Angry Tired Teachers have been performing this anthem protesting the budget cuts affecting our public schools, colleges and universities at various fund raisers and rallies throughout California as part of their "Cuts Hurt/Budgetwelooza Tour."

CUTS HURT ~ LYRICS:

Verse:

Cuts hurt, cuts scar, cuts wound and harm
Any school not tough or strong enough, to take a lot
of pain, of jobs getting lost
Kids future getting tossed, Oh what a cost

Chorus:

Cuts hurt
Oo, Oo cuts hurt, Oo, Oo cuts hurt

Verse 2:

I'm young, I know, but even so, I know a thing
or two that I've learned from my teachers
I've really learned a lot, they really taught me a lot
Cuts are so lame, they have to be stopped!

Bridge:

Some schools dream of happiness,
wealthiness, togetherness
Some states support their schools I guess
while our kids get left behind


Solo & Verse 1:

To take a lot of pain, of jobs getting lost
Kids future getting tossed, Oh what a cost


Chorus:

Cuts hurt
Oo, Oo cuts hurt, Oo, Oo cuts hurt
