Lyrics

Knowledge is key
You can never know too much
Open your books aim to the stars
Well I won't let them
Keep me from learning all I can
Public schools just stand up
The system feeds our minds

Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key

I won't let you
Play me for a fool
Set me free to go to church
But I can't pray in school
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends

Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key
