School Frustrations

Schools don't educate
they teach us to fear
and surrender to fate

Schools make learning dull
memorizing details is simply no fun

Of course it's all indirect
it's hidden so well that
no-one would suspect
that it's here and it's there
look around, it's not fair

You turn to the class
and ask a question

I would gladly reply
if I were so inclined

But something else is on my mind
learning of a different kind

The things that mean the most to me
are good and pure and true and free

I speak with a friend
and I'm punished for that
when I try to defend
I'm thrown out for backchat

Respect is something
that you have to earn
but you yell, demand
and give none in return
