Well I saw this kid get beaten because he was out of luck

In the lottery of acceptance in the school of growing up.

Saw a bunch of convincts doing time inside a cage,

Got locked in factories within the school paid wage.

(Chorus)

Saw this boy so strung out that his body sweats and shakes

From his field education in the school of cheap escape.

Got told the school of human thinking teaches only truth

and one of its educations is gonna find you

(Chorus)

Saw a civilization where grabbing onto wealth

was the only guarantee of freedom peace and health.

Dollar sign value system upheld as the truth,

and if you can't find a place it's gonna find you.

Saw the paranoid response to all of the examples

of the ones that don't fit in this way of living getting trampled.

Success is obedience to a structured way of life,

you can't ignore the structure because we're all within its sight
