rats, monkeys, mice - teach ' em little tricks

stay far from creativity, and from politics

'cause the multinationals need a solid work force

or their growing profit margins will be wiped out at the source



conform to the status quo, set rules

hold your mind into their fucking tool



chorus:

reciting back their facts and numbers - that don't make you smart

there's much more to intelligence - and thinking for yourself would be a start

it would be a start...

start!



pledge allegiance to a flag of which you're taught no history

not mexico, granada, panama, or middle east

but they're just a mere fraction of this country's shady past

skeletons locked in the closet and i doubt they'll be the last

"national interest, " defined for you...

but who's it really serve? who's getting screwed?



your prison warden is your school

training you to be a social screw

stage a jailbreak, swim against the flow

show those motherfuckers what you know!



i feel like i am suffocating

i feel my life depreciating

i knowtheir teachings are riddled with lies, distortions, shit!

it kills me knowing the masses are so brainwashed by it - brainwashed by it!
