I don't understand how you Americans can teach you kids from the young age, that working is BAD. Working is something to be AVOIDED. Or in other words, work is something to be done sloppy so we can quickly get to the fun part of resting and NOT working.
Kids are like sponges, how can you brainwash them into such a state of mind from a young age? You people are really clueless.

Eating food is good, resting is good, work is bad.

@OP
Where do you get this? My parents always told me to work hard, and that it's the responsibility of all able bodied people to work and earn an honest living.

What is so good about working? What kind of a small minded idiot thinks working is fun and games, then its something to just be able to stay alive? Fuck you op, learn about reality you piece of shit.

It sounds like his job is playing a trumpet, and he's boasting about how it isn't work because he enjoys it? I would go with "do something you love" being the message here.
And I think Meta has a point here. It's not as if TMBG is piped into school cafeterias and played before children's sporting events. It's a little odd to judge what an entire culture is teaching their children by the lyrics to one song by a band with a relatively small fan base compared to all the Disney music that kids are actually listening to again and again. I think GLaMpuNKeR is probably over-reacting.

Schools could save a lot of time by playing "Particle Man" once a year in lieu of science class. It covers all the basics of science pretty well.

@previous (Metæ)
Then our universities will be full of academics arguing about why triangle man always wins or whether particle man ever gets wet. This will be a refreshing change from all that controversial evolution and climate science.
Also, this is actually pretty cool. This is even cooler.
