Well i saw this kid get beaten down because he was out of luck In the lottery of acceptance in the school of growing up Saw a bunch of convicts doing time inside a cage Got locked in factories w/in the school of paid wage (Chorus) Saw this boy so strung out that his body sweats and shakes From his field education in the school of cheap escapes 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 cant find a place its gonna find you
Saw the paranoid response to all of the examples Of the ones that dont fit in this way of living geting trampled Success is obedience to a structured way of life You cant ignore the structure because were all within its sight (Chorus)
