First day in the penitentiary
I'm a liberator in children's clothing
Before I free them
I've gotta blend in
Everybody pointing at each other's sin
Perpetual myth of separation
It pains me, but for now, I must blend in
Can't look like a fool
To the drooling babysitter in the front of the room
This school's a tomb
It's like a second womb
Without the comforts of home
(Never thought I was who I thought I was)
Gather, gather, near, near
Lend me your ear
Don't let the motherfucker hear
We got all the power here
WE GOT ALL THE POWER HERE
It's on the other side of fear
Obstruction is a veneer
Don't let the motherfucker hear
Everybody volunteer
We'll commandeer a holy year
Impossible to interfere
But don't let the motherfucker hear
Freedom is in the hands of the young
(no laughter
no joy
no talking, girls and boys
this is true and that is false
don't write your feelings on the bathroom walls
'cause i'm smart and you're not
destroy the things inside your hearts
congregate, assimilate, regurgitate my thoughts
Welcome to School)
I don't know about you
But I'm starting to feel like school is overrated
And I don't know about you
But Im starting to feel like school is done
Friends are acting cruel
And the headmaster is ruling
We don't suffer fools
The chains, they keep us drooling
(Never thought I was who I thought I was)
Gather, gather, near, near
Lend me your ear
Don't let the motherfucker hear
We got all the power here
WE GOT ALL THE POWER HERE
It's on the other side of fear
Obstruction is a veneer
Don't let the motherfucker hear
Everybody volunteer
We'll commandeer a holy year
Impossible to interfere
Freedom is in the hands of the young
(no laughter
no joy
no talking, girls and boys
this is true and that is false
don't write your feelings on the bathroom walls
'cause i'm smart and you're not
destroy the things inside your hearts
congregate, assimilate, regurgitate my thoughts
Welcome to School)
