Intro5pect - Education lyrics

rate me

We are born into the world

with a blank slate for a mind

capacity for learning,

and tightly closed up eyes

the learning comes so quick

that we have no time to choose

our own set of standards

and our own set of rules

so we learn, and we learn young

no one thinks you're hard

if you turn and run

we learn, and we learn young

no one dismiss you

when they're staring down your gun

[Chorus]

So all along the city streets

I'm scared to walk alone

in the dirty alleyways,

I'm scared to walk alone

and I admit I've never lived

the life that you must know

but violence towards innocents

won't fix your broken homes

(you reap the seeds you sow)

we determine what we think

based on what we're shown

a lack of education leaves the world unkown

so all we have to go on is the world that we see

a world based on violence

and a world based on greed

so we learn, and we learn young

no one thinks you're hard

if you turn and run

we learn, and we learn young

no one dismiss you

when they're staring down your gun

[Chorus]
