Lyrics:

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!
