Locked inside<br />
Prison with no bars<br />
American High School<br />
You're here to learn the rules<br />
Learn to conform<br />
Learn to obey<br />
Live by the bell<br />
Do as they say<br />
Forced into a mold<br />
Of Middle class ideal<br />
Productive worker/student<br />
Someone else's pawn<br />
If you dissent<br />
Dare to rebel<br />
The authorities will send you<br />
To institutional hell<br />
Homogenized<br />
Socialized<br />
Individuality<br />
Stigmatized<br />
Sent to a reform school<br />
"special" learning institution<br />
Christian concentration camp<br />
Private psychiatric prison<br />
Parents, shrinks and counselors<br />
Think you have a problem<br />
It's called self expression<br />
Natural youth rebellion<br />
You have no more rights<br />
Under their control<br />
Pump you full of drugs<br />
Will brainwash prevail<br />
Society's last chance<br />
To grind you down<br />
Will you make it to 18<br />
If your mind is strong
