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

A protest against the proposed budget cuts affecting California public 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 proposed budget cuts affecting our public schools at various fund raisers and rallies throughout California as part of their "Cuts Hurt/Budgetwelooza Tour."



CUTS HURT ~ LYRICS:

Verse:

Cuts hurt, cut 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

  • Nobody talks about how Asian Americans suffers from CTA. Asians students suffer from both higher college tuition and even worst they are ill prepared by the lower standards that caters to illegals. Asian families suffer from high taxes and we struggle to put our kids into college. We comprise less than 3% of the pop. of CA but almost a 100% of the student body in Engineering and Science majors.

  • Unlike GM which basically goes belly up, the CA teachers unions & illegals will tarp themselves by asking the stupid CA assembly to increase our taxes so the people of CA will go belly up!!! The CA assembly will get kick-backs from the unions from all the tax money collected. This policy backfires because illegals all drop out of high school and do not pay taxes.

  • What an absolutely disgusting video. Using your children as a political tool and accessory. Using children too young to understand what they are doing for your own personal gain and satisfaction is as revolting as Toddlers and Tiaras. I see no difference between those parents and the ones exploiting their children in this video.

  • you wanted the illegals....now deal with it.... morons

  • The CTA lobby for ILLEGALS at the detriment of CA. The more illegal kids in our schools, the more teachers the STATE have to hire, hence more dues for the UNION at the tax payers expense. Illegals drop out of high school & do not contribute back to the economy, even worst, they go on welfare, join gangs, go to JAIL, costing the TAX paper even more money! CA is bankrupt thanks to CA teachers association or should I say CA teachers UNION catering to ILLEGALS!

  • Hey @sassygirl345 with all that said, how did you like this video?

  • Hey @UCSDEngineerDoctor, what exactly does that have to do with the CTA?

  • Disolve the union and kids would benefit. The California Teachers Association has spent more than $200 million on campaign contributions and lobbying efforts in the last decade, leading what the Fair Political Practices Commission calls a "billion-dollar club" of moneyed political interests.

  • union scum

  • @UCSDEngineerDoctor People are finally waking up to the Fraudulant Democratic Party. It is so great to see inteligent non white people such as Michele Maulkin, Michael Steele, Walter E. Williams, Angela Maglowan, JC Watts, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell people with brains who are not fooled by the lying, phony Democrats with all their false Reverend Jim Jones Kool-Aid Drinking lies.

  • Black and Latino people have all the help they need. They need to get off their lazy asses and study. I escaped from a concentration camp in Communist China and came here to America. Did not speak English. Did Affirmative Action helped me? No, did the state helped me? No! Did the teachers helped me? NO! I studied mostly by myself. All you need is perseverance and hard work.

  • I can't wait to see the Angry Tired Teachers rock out on Sat. May 30th at the Berkeley Community Theater!

    They're going to bring the house down fighting for social security fairness.

    See you there!
