The Bored of Education

We're the bored of education. We've got no time for these lies.
The bored of education, we need some truth in our diet.

We're starving in more ways than can be counted.
We're only patching wounds cuz the value of healing's been discounted.
Your heros turned out to be frauds.
Being true to thyself is breaking laws.
And sadly, every other pair of lovers will eventually dissolve.

Rent's on the rise. Good people are suffering bad times. And I feel like it's 1972 and I'm looking thru Gil Scot-Heron's eyes.
And I'm told I'm must vote for all those who died, but we all know my choices are slim.
And that's not really why they fight.

And I feel like it's 1976 cuz Stevie's songs still hold the key to life.
And maybe Marvin and Marley are the real true disciples.
Cuz What's Goin On and the words of Jah are my Bible.
And I don't hate in the name of God or Love.
And I ain't going to hell cuz I don't subscribe to the book you're reading from.
