Education

<br>We are born into the world<br>with a blank slate for a mind<br>capacity for learning,<br>and tightly closed up eyes<br>the learning comes so quick<br>that we have no time to choose<br>our own set of standards<br>and our own set of rules<br>so we learn, and we learn young<br>no one thinks you`re hard<br>if you turn and run<br>we learn, and we learn young<br>no one dismiss you<br>when they`re staring down your gun<br><br>[Chorus]<br>So all along the city streets<br>I`m scared to walk alone<br>in the dirty alleyways,<br>I`m scared to walk alone<br>and I admit I`ve never lived<br>the life that you must know<br>but violence towards innocents<br>won`t fix your broken homes<br>(you reap the seeds you sow)<br><br>we determine what we think <br>based on what we`re shown<br>a lack of education leaves the world unkown<br>so all we have to go on is the world that we see<br>a world based on violence<br>and a world based on greed<br>so we learn, and we learn young<br>no one thinks you`re hard<br>if you turn and run<br>we learn, and we learn young<br>no one dismiss you<br>when they`re staring down your gun<br><br>[Chorus]
