Knowledge is power
If you have a good memory, you pass
Chained to a desk for eight hours a day
Freedom of speech
Raise your hand if you have something to say
Eighteen years this goes on
You're launched into the real world
Figure out what you want to do
For the rest of your entire existence
Regardless if you want to or not.
Good thing we know how to graph an equation
Little awareness of what's actually going on in the world
Ignorance isn't bliss.
Acquiring information of history,
Seeing it repeating itself
Art isn't required
But you would love to learn Biology.
