A Liberal Education

Take away our history<br>Take away our heroes<br>Take away our values<br>And leave us here with nothing<br>We were in the garden of Eden<br>Just as children mess around<br>We only leant against the tree<br>And the apple came tumbling down <br>You gave us what we asked for<br>But never what we wanted<br>We were only children<br>How could you have been so stupid<br>We went up to the steel walls<br>That guard the sacred town<br>We only whispered to ourselves<br>And the walls came tumbling down <br>We didn`t want a victory<br>We just wanted to fight<br>But you wouldn`t fight<br>You just gave in<br>You went and spoiled every game<br>You broke an everlasting chain<br>And nobody respects you for your weakness <br>Take away our idols<br>Take away our faith<br>Take away our hatred<br>And put us in this vacuum<br>Then say be yourself, please yourself<br>Express yourself some more<br>It`s your right to do what you like<br>Because we can`t really be bothered with you at all <br>We didn`t want a victory<br>We just wanted to fight<br>But you wouldn`t fight<br>You said it isn`t nice to fight<br>You went and spoiled every game<br>You broke an everlasting chain<br>And nobody respects you for your weakness
