Common Knowledge

if people were the same, the world would be still,

our differences make a change, they give us our will,

so stop testing us on problems with only one answer,

stop shoving us in classes with only one man there,

you can’t shove your ideas down our throats,

 

we are done with this sheltering, so leave us alone,

 

 

this world isn't made for the number one,

you learn from everybody and you won’t ever be done,

so fill in all the bubbles on those standardized tests,

because everything's common knowledge to some man behind a desk.
