Welcome to class now you are Locked up all your life in a concrete structure Blocked off from the world Clogging up your thoughts with the empty notions Null on the outside
Live, learn
A black stare responds The master of ceremonies drones right on for hours The blinding lights go dull The brilliant babies go back home uninspired
Running up your brain through the rodent mazes Cold and predefined Making all the necessary contributions Keep within the lines
Hold still
Welcome to academic success Jerk off to your name on the Dean's List
Slowly marching forth with the herd The umbilical cord of the world Choking off the breath of your mind Hollowed out and starving for life
Recycle the elite pinned to your chest Leaning to the right while stroking the left
Slowly marching forth with the herd The umbilical cord of the world Embryonic brains without spines A flock of talking heads in disguise
Disappear in a sea of cloned thought patterns
Slowly marching forth with the herd The umbilical cord of the world Self-aborted right in your prime
Speak up your idea will inspire and shine Alas it's been thought a thousand times
Castrate yourself with the fear of being less than wealthy
Rapid-fire attempts at quick inspiration leave you broke and numb The paralyzing pain of their expectation causes you to run
