The Red Plan Blues<\/strong><\/p>\n
By the taxpayers of Duluth<\/p>\n
Well, I woke up at Johnson Controls, with a Red Plan looking at me.<\/p>\n
Yes, I woke up in Johnson Controls, that ol Red Plan was all I could see.<\/p>\n
And it caused the referendum to fail, caused a whole lot of misery.<\/p>\n
Now I asked Keith Dixon, Tell me, what will we do?<\/p>\n
Yes, I asked ol Keith, What we gonna do?<\/p>\n
They done closed Central and combined it with Denfeld and East.<\/p>\n
I went down to Nettleton and Lincoln just to get myself an education.<\/p>\n
Yes, I headed to Nettleton and Lincoln cause I heard they would offer desegregation.<\/p>\n
But they closed down, too, had to settle for Piedmont\u00c2\u2019s white-bread education.<\/p>\n
Oh, Keith Dixon, tell me, who will solve this mess?<\/p>\n
Yes, Keith, please tell me, how will we survive this mess?<\/p>\n
The Duluth School Board couldn’t fix it, and I don’t know about Don Ness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
