Welcome my pupils to a flag you must pledge
Open up your lesson books, monotonous day ahead
Another fucked up system, educations gone to hell
You enter into school, follow rules, or you're expelled
CHORUS
There's only one way
You've got to beat the system at its game
Educate yourself
Don't be a mindless zombie
Educate yourself
Be aware of your surroundings
Don't be blinded by their lies
Struggling to pass for twelve long years
Then you're pushed to college, exhaustion and tears
Pushed to the limit, expected to succeed
In a world full of hate, violence, and greed
CHORUS
On the other hand, you've got these stupid morons
Who think that being smart is just a waste of time
Then they wonder how their leaders get away with
Lying, wars, corruption, killing, and deception
They brainwash you in school and in church
So the government can stay in power
No opinions or imagination
Teach you what they want
They make it boring so you will quit
Be a stupid fool who cannot think
Don't be blinded or they will win
Educate yourself, keep your mind open
Do it for your own sake
Don't do it for the system
Cause if you can't think for yourself
You'll never criticize or question
