Anti-Flag » A Start Lyrics

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 fucking 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
motherfuckers what you know! i feel like i am suffocating i feel
my life depreciating i know their teachings are riddled with lies,
distortions, shit! it kills me knowing the masses
are so brainwashed by it - brainwashed by it!
