Uneducated Nation
by roberterherYou're sitting in your office from 9 to 5
You've never felt so un-alive
Depressed and sad in your car
Happiness have never felt so far
You thought school would make you smart
but all they did was tear you apart
Forced you to follow the stupid rules
made all the kids brainwashed fools
It's an uneducated nation
built on lies and threats
school's not an education
it fills me with regrets
they say success is getting rich
But I want to make a switch
I only wanna follow my dreams
but I'm blocked by teacher-teams
They force me to learn what I don't need
history's not what what I wanna read
"I'm an adult and you're just a kid"
"What you want is all forbid"
It's an uneducated nation
built on lies and threats
school's not an education
it fills me with regrets
