Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say it is hiding inside all our shoes,
It creeps into math books, it tangles the twos.
It whispers in story time, a little past noon,
And hides in the corner while it howls at the moon!

[Chorus]
Oh, the CRT Boogeyman is ripping through our land,
Though nobody’s seen him, they claim he’s grand.
They point and they holler, they fuss and they fight,
But it lives in law school, not with children at night.

[Verse 2]
They banned it from playgrounds, they banned it from pies,
They banned it from teachers with chalk in their eyes.
But CRT’s a secret, though they just can’t believe,
It lives in the courthouse, with no tricks up its sleeve!

[Bridge]
It talks about housing and red lines on maps,
It talks about justice and sentencing gaps.
It asks little questions like “Should this be fair?”
But no child in first grade is learning it there.

[Final Chorus]
So shout with your voices, spread the good news,
In our kindergartens they're not teaching these blues.
If you want to go see it, put on grad-school shoes,
And rise above chasing the CRT Blues!

[Chorus]
Oh, the CRT Boogeyman is ripping through our land,
Though nobody’s seen him, they claim he’s grand.
They point and they holler, they fuss and they fight,
But it lives in law school, not with children at night.
