Back in school you ever get busted for trying to walk
And have some administrator tell you
"Son, you can shirk your obligations,
And try to be different from your peers,
But the responsibility of your future
Is gonna find you!"
Well I saw this kid get beaten down, because he was out of luck
In the lottery of acceptance in the school of growing up.
Saw a bunch of convicts doing time inside a cage,
Got locked in factories within the school of paid wage.
Saw this boy so strung out
That his body sweats and shakes,
From his field education
In the school of cheap escape.
Got told the school of human thinking
Teaches only truth,
And one of its educations is gonna find you
Gonna find you.
Saw a civilization where grabbing onto wealth
Was the only guarantee of freedom, peace and health
Dollar sign value system upheld as the truth,
And if you can't find a place it's gonna find you.
Gonna find you.
Saw the paranoid response to all of the examples
Of the ones who don't fit in this way of living getting trampled.
Success is obedience to a structured way of life,
You can't ignore the structure
Because we're all within its sights.
