Rats, monkeys, mice
Teach 'em little tricks
Stay far from creativity and from politics
'Cause the multinationals need
A solid work force for their growing profit
Margins will be wiped out at the source
Conform to the status quo, set rules
Hold your mind into their f**ing tool
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
(Start)
Yeah, it would be a start
(Start)
It would be a start
(Start)
Yeah, it would be a start
(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?
Reciting back their facts and numbers
That don't make you smart
There's much more to intelligence
And thinking for yourself it would be a start
(Start)
Yeah, it would be a start
(Start)
It would be a start
(Start)
Yeah, it would be a start
(Start)

Your prison warden is your school
Training you to be a social screw
Stage a jailbreak, swim against the flow
Show those motherf**ers what you know
I feel like I am suffocating
I feel my life depreciating
I know their teachings are riddled
With lies, distortions, sh**
It k**s me knowing the ma**es
Are so brainwashed by it, brainwashed by it, no
