Sittin' in the classroom, thumbin' through the pages of a white-washed history of well-fed caucasians
|
Growin' up, wonderin' what's going on.
|
It makes you want to scream and shout, but they tell ya it's nothing to worry about,
|
'cause the world always ends at your front lawn.
|
|
They build your life in an endless maze of ancient myths and worn cliches,
|
Saying keep to yourself and quietly go along. Clean your plate, do as you're told,
|
worship all that's bought and sold, til everything you know is wrong.
|
|
Breakfast with the conservative columnist who dreams his pen is John Wayne's fist
|
He hammers the world into his narrow view
|
Laugh at those who don't belong, quoting patriotic sing-alongs
|
And wonders what this world is coming to
|
They place your life on a moral grid, God's own scorecard which they keep hid
|
Then pull out to condemn whenever needed.
|
Forced to judge life, and what it brings, by trivial materialistic things
|
Since the can't see the show from where they're seated..
