They Don't Understand It
Location
I don’t think they understand it
This building is not where our lives end or began
When I go home I don’t think about equations and test dates
Yeah- I am more concerned with family and friends
They want us to listen and some will say don’t even talk
But then how will I be heard, see they don’t want our opinions
They want you to sit down and be a machine
No art, no freedom, no rebellion
When you resist and pull away
You are the trouble and the problem
No, the problem is school is not synonymous to life
You can’t make it ever be
These numbers and words and rules
They are all beyond the average students reach
Be relevant and real; teach me something that’s really new
Only then will I be obedient and give respect to you
