QUOTE


"Our schools are, in a sense, factories, in which the raw products (children) are to be shaped and fashioned into products to meet the various demands of life. The specifications for manufacturing come from the demands of twentieth-century civilization, and it is the business of the school to build its pupils according to the specifications laid down." - Ellwood P. Cubberley, Dean of the Stanford University School of Education

What I Have To Do

by Flaw


Well it seems as though everyone's been led astray, far away from.
From what we know, still can't find a reason or
the right words to say. It'll be OK.

[Prechorus:]
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still break away.

[Chorus:]
Caught up in a social degradation, you can't even see the truth.
We're only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof.
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we're singled out.
It's the only thing that keeps
me alive, I do what I have to do.

How was I to know, force fed corporate trials each day, every single day.
But we must grow, echoing the single most important thing in the way.

[Prechorus]
[Chorus]

Not slipping, still drifting, falling one step further from the norm.
What is the norm? Not living, longing, trying so much
harder than before. What if I, what if I run far away?
Would I still be seen the same? Break away.

[Chorus]

It's what I want.
