Well they took you from your mother´s womb and put you in a school
Told you how to run your life by following the rules
Told you not to pick your nose or disrespect the queen
Scrub your teeth three times a day keep your mind and body clean

Verse:
Save up all your pocket money nothing is for free

And if you´re too intelligent they´ll cut you down to size
They´ll praise you ´til you´re happy then they´ll fill you full of lies
´cos intelligence is threatening and genious is sin
If you could ever see through them they known they´d never win

So they channel your ability into the right direction
If you´re good enough and rich enough you can be a politician
On the other hand if you´re too thick they´ll tell you that you´re lazy
They´ll put you down and wind you up until it drives you crazy

They´ll give you a decision when you get to 18 too
The right to vote for someone else who says he cares for you
But the only thing he cares about is getting to the top
By conning you with empty words that promise you a lot
But the end resullt is slavery to a false set of ideals
You´ll be tempted to believe them cos they´ll seem so very real
The slavery of attitudes that make you keep in line
Subconsciously devoted to the morals of our time

They´ll promise you absolution from the murders you´ll commit
In the name of god and country they can get away with it
They fill you full of orders and promise you rewards
Like busting up your family by sending you abroad
A holiday in Germany or Iceland or Hong Kong
Making money being useless well it seems it cant be wrong

But then it´s off to Northern Ireland where you´ll practice what they preached
You´ll shoot to keep yourself alive and kill to keep the peace
And then it won´t be so much fun as you hear the wounded crying
´cosbefore they couldn´t speak english, and you didn´t know what they were saying

(Lots of Dead Notes)
But when the children call you BASTARD! it will make you think again
When you cannot tell the difference between animals and men

´cos your father will tell you sonny you must do as you were told
