What will we do when we have our own kids? Give 'em 12-year bids just after the bars come off the cribs? Work within the system, make 'em listen To the darkest lecture in the architecture Of a prison full of purity guards, security guards That's sure to be hard Recess [ringing] Rush hurriedly to the yard Back-to-school nights are visitation rights And boredom is the warden They'd be less ignored in private school But can you afford them?

I'll reopen the Black Mountain School And bring back to us the abacus as a counting tool Y'all know what time it is This is my Bauhaus We run around when it's nice out And nobody kowtows
