lyrics

I'm stepping back into my alma mater
Yeah, it's coming back to me
The hatred, the suspicions of futility
What was learned here?
How to get in line and blindly trust
The standards of those that I knew were idiots
And laziness as a device to prove that I'm not really powerless
If I could be fifteen again
I'd be telling all of my friends
"Let's not go to school anymore"
I wish I'd thought all this years before
Hours of subjugation serve to sap our creativity
Expression sublimated as we're fed distorted history
Blindly conform ourselves to the worst aspects of all our peers
We plant the seeds that strangle us in coming years
They're strangling me
Seven years of fighting, and I'm still not free
If I could be fifteen again
I'd be telling all of my friends
"Let's not go to school anymore"
I wish I'd thought all this years before
