A Liberal Education

Take away our history



Take away our heroes



Take away our values



And leave us here with nothing



We were in the garden of Eden



Just as children mess around



We only leant against the tree



And the apple came tumbling down



You gave us what we asked for



But never what we wanted



We were only children



How could you have been so stupid



We went up to the steel walls



That guard the sacred town



We only whispered to ourselves



And the walls came tumbling down



We didn't want a victory



We just wanted to fight



But you wouldn't fight



You just gave in



You went and spoiled every game



You broke an everlasting chain



And nobody respects you for your weakness



Take away our idols



Take away our faith



Take away our hatred



And put us in this vacuum



Then say be yourself, please yourself



Express yourself some more



It's your right to do what you like



Because we can't really be bothered with you at all



We didn't want a victory



We just wanted to fight



But you wouldn't fight



You said it isn't nice to fight



You went and spoiled every game



You broke an everlasting chain



And nobody respects you for your weakness
