lyrics

You reach a tender five years old
Only existence you’ve known is the family fold
The time has come for you to branch out
Social engineering time has come about

The objective never was education
Else they never would have bothered with legislation
The real agenda has the simple goal
Of separating everybody into pigeon holes
If for some reason you don’t fit
You’ll be marked for manual work as if you’re shit
And just to make sure you won’t complain
They tell you you’re a failure again and again and again

It all starts off quite logically
Teaching the basics that we all need
As you get older it gets more obtuse
Inundated with subjects with no practical use

Education and schooling are two different things
One prepares you for life, the other makes you fit in
The constant grading done time after time
Establishes your place on the production line
They pump you full of irrelevant facts
It doesn’t take genius to see what schooling lacks
Don’t think of questioning outside their scope
You get a big black mark, then you’ll have no hope
