A Start

Anti-Flag · Underground Network [2001]

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

Mold your mind into their fucking tool



Chorus:

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... (x3)

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 closed and i doubt they'll be the last

"National Interest," defined for you...

But who's it really serve? Who's getting screwed?



Chorus (repeat)



Your prison warden is your school

Training you to be a social screw

Stage a jailbreak, swim agianst the flow

Show those motherfuckers what you know!



I feel like i am suffocation

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!
