Let It Burn

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 can´t 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.
