Anti-Flag A Start Lyrics

1,2,3,4...

rats, monkeys, mice - teach 'em little tricks
stay far from creativity, and from politics
'cause the multinationals need a solid work force or their growing profit margins will be wiped out at the source
conform to the status quo, set rules, hold your mind into their f___ing tool!
reciting back their facts and numbers, that don't make you smart there's much more to intelligence, and thinking for yourself would be a start it would be a start... start!

pledge allegiance to a flag of which you're taught no history, not mexico, granada, panama, or middle east
but they're just a mere fraction of this country's
shady past skeletons locked in the closet and i doubt they'll be the last
"national interest" defined for you,
but who's it really serve? who's getting screwed?

your prison warden is your school, training you to be a social screw! stage a jailbreak swim against the flow
show those m_________ers what you know!

i feel like i am suffocating
i feel my life depreciating
i know their teachings are riddled with lies, distortions, s___! it kills me knowing the masses are so brainwashed by it, brainwashed by it! no!
