You know I can't work, you know I can't learn
One funds the other, we don't have funds
To educate the world
I can't sleep, for the sounds of the flak
So we'll lock the room and crank the music
And try to drown it out
Different groups and genders, but they'll treat you all the same
Last years winners, new job figures, propaganda's gain
You know I can't think, when the world's a blur
And I need to think, to gather strength, to justify the world
Education's a threat, when it's in our hands
Educated, liberated, turn the world around
Different groups and genders, but they'll treat you all the same
Last years winners, new job figures, propaganda's gain
If we could help them teach and organize
Strip the blinkers, draw the blinds
With an education, elevate them, help them rise above the scourge
No incentive to work, no incentive to learn
When you're having trouble eating, more important issues burn
Different groups and genders, but they'll treat you all the same
Last years winners, new job figures, propaganda's gain
Different groups and genders, but they'll treat you all the same
Last years winners, new job figures, propaganda's gain
They can't work, they can't eat or learn, one funds the other
Shame we couldn't feed and clothe the
Yes, you're right to squirm!!
