Crippler Cliques
You crawl on the ground
afraid to stand up
jumping at a chance
to pull somebody down
You cling to the crowd
afraid to stand out
eager for a chance
to push somebody out
Your life has no meaning
you're trying to belong
spit on, laugh at, trample down
even if it's wrong
If you'd just find a moment
and open your mind
you'd realise there's nothing
no reason to cause all this pain

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
they teach us to fear
and surrender to fate

Arm the legs
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking either. I probably just wasn't :) The colours turned out pretty funky I think.
Used to be
There used to be respect here
when it wasn't in demand
excellence in atmosphere
kindness all around
but advertising those facts
wouldn't work in this town
emphasizing other things
removing many choices
one by one they disappear
silencing our voices
you protect yourself from open minds
as you shrug the blame away
took a chance with one of a kind
and then lied to save your name
you started by ignoring
and slowly grew to greed
now all the good has fallen
because of one bad seed.
