lyrics

My folks enrolled me in the scholastic machine
Where the teachers grinded thoughts into my mind
They spoon fed me history, english, and biology
And how to think and how to life my life

"Sit back and listen Jack, you better learn some respect
Or you'll fall back and live your life a no-good reject
For, one's instincts to disobey government authority
Will get you nil by the end of the day"

I learned to pledge allegiance to
The rag of red, white, and blue
And I learned that the rich kids in my school
They were no friends of mine
They bullied me all the time
But with every fight the tougher I grew

"Sit back and listen Jack, you better learn some respect
You ain't naught but a pauper - a no-good reject
But one day you'll learn to obey
The ruling class plutocracy
And you'll find yourself a slave to the company
And you'll find yourself a slave to the bourgeoisie
And you'll be naught but a slave to the state"
