Anti-Flag - A Start lyrics

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 hold your mind into their fucking
Tool 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 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
Closet and i doubt they'll
Be the last "national interest
" defined for you but who's it really serve?
Who's getting screwed? your prison warden is
Your school training you to be
A social screw stage a jailbreak
Swim against the flow
Show those motherfuckers
What you know! i feel like i am
Suffocating 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!
