Bad Education
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Shackles of Bad Education
Lyrics
Bad education is bad for you and me
Bad education negatively impacts both individuals and society.
They lie in your face
People in authority lie to your face.
When they tell you you're free
The claim of freedom is deceptive in the context of the education system.
Cuz' nothing's further from reality
Reality contradicts the notion of freedom presented.
We're all locked up
We are metaphorically imprisoned or restricted.
Bad education is bad for you and me
Reiteration of the negative impact of bad education.
You see they school you
The education system influences and controls individuals.
To keep your mind under lock and key
Education is used to control thoughts and limit intellectual freedom.
Just like the food and the seeds
Comparison of mental control to control over food and resources.
We're all locked up
Reiteration of a sense of imprisonment or confinement.
The educational system
Highlighting the purpose of the educational system in creating a workforce.
Was created to create a work force
The system is designed to produce workers for economic purposes.
To turn you into a work whore
Using strong language to criticize the dehumanizing nature of work.
9 to 5 is where they want you to be
9 to 5 work is presented as the desired outcome for individuals.
Servile inebriated and poor
Describing individuals as subservient, intoxicated, and impoverished.
They need you that way to take your land
Explaining the manipulation of individuals to facilitate exploitation of resources.
And much more
Exploitation is not limited to land but extends to other aspects of life.
They thrive off your destruction
Those in power benefit from the suffering and destruction of others.
They want it all
An assertion that those in power desire absolute control.
But you already know
Recognition of existing knowledge and awareness of the situation.
What you need to live and grow
Basic needs for living and personal growth are already known.
The truth is inside of us
The truth is inherent within individuals.
And all around you
Affirming that truth surrounds individuals in their environment.
You don't need a school
Rejecting the necessity of formal education to learn fundamental principles.
To teach the golden rule
Asserting that ethical principles are innate and don't require formal teaching.
The truth is inside of us
Reiteration of the idea that truth is inherent within individuals.
And all around you
Affirming the omnipresence of truth in the surrounding environment.
