Dedicated to all those poor innocent students who dread the First of September

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Leaving behind all the fun en masse--
Seventy days have gone so fast.
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Here we go back to school again,
Trudging through the halls.
Sitting at our desks again,
Getting bored out of our skulls.

As my attention rests,
My mind goes back to what I've lost;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Ring out the bells again,
Signalling that the end began;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Here we go back to school again,
Trudging through the halls.
Sitting at our desks again,
Getting bored out of our skulls.

As my attention rests,
My mind goes back to what I've lost;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Summer has come and passed,
The vacation can never last;
Wake me up when the school year ends.

Leaving behind all the fun en masse;
Nine more more moths--alack! alas!
Wake me up when the school year ends.
Wake me up when the school year ends.
Wake me up when the school year ends.

James Allan Donalson, 59, of Harris County, Texas, says his mother died because of a defective pacemaker. To prove that, when she died he cut the device out of her chest with a kitchen knife, and he will not tell authorities where it is. The coroner confirms the device was cut out after death, but he wants to examine it. Donalson, who cared for his ailing mother full time for the past 10 years, was jailed and told he faces 10 years in prison for “tampering with physical evidence” if he doesn’t turn over the pacemaker. Prosecutors promise to drop the charge if he gives it up. He refuses, and the situation is at a stalemate. (Houston Chronicle) ...It’s the sort of situation that just breaks a mother’s heart.
