Rats, monkeys, mice - teach ' em little tricks
  stay far from creativity, and from politics
  'cause the multinationals need a solid work force
  or their growing profit margins will be wiped out at the source
  
  conform to the status quo, set rules
  hold your mind into their fucking tool
  
  chorus:
  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
  it would be a 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?
  
  your prison warden is your school
  training you to be a social screw
  stage a jailbreak, swim against the flow
  show those motherfuckers what you know!
  
  i feel like i am suffocating
  i feel my life depreciating
  i knowtheir teachings are riddled with lies, distortions, shit!
  it kills me knowing the masses are so brainwashed by it - brainwashed by it!
