Anti-Flag - A Start Lyrics

Rats, monkeys, mice - teach 'em little tricks
Stay far from creativity, and from politics
'Cause the multinationals need a solid work force
Or their growing profit margins will be wiped out at the source

Conform to the status quo, set rules
Mold your mind into their fucking tool

Chorus:
Reciting back their facts and numbers - that don't make you smart
There's much more to intelligence - and thinking for yourself would be a start
It would be a start... (x3)
Start!

Pledge allegiance to a flag of which you're taught no history
Not Mexico, Granada, Panama, or Middle East
But they're just a mere fraction of this country's shady past
Skeletons locked in the closed and i doubt they'll be the last
"National Interest," defined for you...
But who's it really serve? Who's getting screwed?

Chorus (repeat)

Your prison warden is your school
Training you to be a social screw
Stage a jailbreak, swim agianst the flow
Show those motherfuckers what you know!

I feel like i am suffocation
I feel my life depreciating
I know their teachings are riddled with lies, distortions, shit!
It kills me knowing the masses are so brainwashed by it - brainwashed by it!
