Education Lyrics

Education lyrics

We are born into the world



with a blank slate for a mind



capacity for learning,



and tightly closed up eyes



the learning comes so quick



that we have no time to choose



our own set of standards



and our own set of rules



so we learn, and we learn young



no one thinks you're hard



if you turn and run



we learn, and we learn young



no one dismiss you



when they're staring down your gun







[Chorus]



So all along the city streets



I'm scared to walk alone



in the dirty alleyways,



I'm scared to walk alone



and I admit I've never lived



the life that you must know



but violence towards innocents



won't fix your broken homes



(you reap the seeds you sow)







we determine what we think 



based on what we're shown



a lack of education leaves the world unkown



so all we have to go on is the world that we see



a world based on violence



and a world based on greed



so we learn, and we learn young



no one thinks you're hard



if you turn and run



we learn, and we learn young



no one dismiss you



when they're staring down your gun







[Chorus]
