John Bosco (Italian: Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco; 16 August 1815 – 31 January 1888), known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator and writer of the 19th century, who put into practice the convictions of his religion, dedicating his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth and employing teaching methods based on love rather than punishment, a method known as the Salesian Preventive System. A follower of the spirituality and philosophy of Francis de Sales, Bosco dedicated his works to him when he founded the Salesians of Don Bosco. Together with Maria Domenica Mazzarello, he founded the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, a religious congregation of nuns dedicated to the care and education of poor girls. In 1876 Bosco founded a movement of laity, the Association of Salesian Cooperators, with the same educational mission to the poor. In 1875 he published the Salesian Bulletin. The Bulletin has remained in continuous publication, and is currently published in 50 different editions and 30 languages.
Hey Bosco, what did you do
To make so many men hate you
You think you're right, they say you're wrong
They've been hassling you for way too long
Going out it made you a star
Going out but going too far
Going out expressing your point of view
Hey Bosco, what did you do
To make so many cops want you
They think they're right; you say they're wrong
They've been hassling you for way too long
(Point of view)
Well I don't want to fake it
And I know you're gonna make it
(female voice starts instantly)
WE NEEEED
WE NEEEED
action, action
(Robotic voice begins)
I'm on the highway to action
(Robot Voice and Female together)
I'm on the highway to action
I'm on the highway to action
I'm highway to action
Chorus
(JUST Female Voice)
We neeeed, We neeeed, ACTION ACTION
