Education

Education

A Poem by Battlecry

It is illegal to drift from the norm.
All those who do not comply will be mentally terminated.
It is illegal to drift from the norm.
All those who do not comply will be mentally terminated.
It is illegal....
To drift....
From the norm......

You have been Terminated.


Wired, wired, from day one.
Teachers teach us to not have fun.
Wired, wired, from day one.
You gotta sit still
Take commands
Can't run

Wired, wired, it's so fun.
To sit in a box, till the work is done.
Wired, wired, it's so fun.
Don't drift away, it's only just begun~


Take your first steps into a place, don't fear
A maze like structure is what you find here
Rooms without windows and so many doors
What else could anyone ever ask for

It's a place of education
You'll learn and grow
To be "one of a kind"
With a number

Numbers, they define us
They make us what we are
Higher the numbers
You'll likely be a star

But your numbers
Their low
It's not what we're after
You don't pay attention
So what is the matter?

The subjects, they bore you?
That must be so.
Couldn't be the methods
Never, oh no

You're broken, so broken
Take these pills.
They'll make you better
And fix your ills

You're broken, so broken
But it's ok
The structure, it will save you
Just don't stray away


You can run through this place as long as you'd like
Even if you escape it'll cost your life
This world is built around the corporations
You must appease to them or end in termination

We care about our people
But only when their good
Only when they listen
Carved into our mould

We'll take care of people
When it suits us, at least
These things, they cost money
Nothing is for free

It's not that we're greedy
We're really, very kind
We only want to help you
But it's more than a dime

Parents and children
We'll help them all
But if you can't pay
Don't be alive at all

On the streets with you
It's where you belong
You won't be a cog
So you might as well fall

Find a place to stay
Until you fade away
Until you learn our ways
It's the price that's paid


It is illegal to drift from the norm.
All those who do not comply will be mentally terminated.
It is illegal to drift from the norm.
All those who do not comply will be mentally terminated.
It is illegal....
To drift....
From the norm......

You have been Terminated.
