welcome to glorious education
let's see what we can teach you
come and learn about the world
or at least everything that we feed you
about life, about history
and your very own place
among constructed immoralities
camouflaged as your prize
let your opinions be ignorant
and your skills automatic
sell us your soul
so you won't ever be free
from competition and corruption
even your shadow is in debt
growing lies and destruction
breeding global disrespect
for the planet, for each other
and disrespect for ourselves
you will gain that much more power
the more you hate yourself
mortgage your house
and put your children on rent
gather around and watch us
as we measure your achievements
sell your body for wages
watch us burn down forests
tell us you love us
we won't ever let you rest
you have to work hard and hit hard
drain the glass empty
until you’re in your cubicle, reeking
and your phone's battery is dying
