Knowledge is key.   You can never know too much.   Open your books aim to the stars    Well I won't let them   Keep me from learning all I can.   Public schools just stand up.   The system feeds our minds.      Did the system tell you about democracy?   The same system that supported slavery?   And doesn't it seem strange that    When we try to make a change   To lock us up and throw away the key.      I won't let you   Play me for a fool   Set me free to go to church   But I cant pray in school.   Make a decision for yourself   Don't bother with any trends   Open up a book   And share the knowledge with your friends.      Did the system tell you about democracy?   The same system that created slavery?   And doesn't it seem strange that    When we try to make a change   To lock us up and throw away the key.
