lyrics

(In fact you taught yourself everything, it’s the way you began)
Let’s take a walk to the border
If there’s a guard, we’ll ignore him
Fold up the maps, throw them away.
Now let’s take a look at the prisons
Are they the government’s business?
Close down the gaols, throw them away.
Let’s take a look at the schools now
They suit the person who rules, yes
But do they satisfy you friend,
And did they teach you to think free?
You learned to bow your head
You didn’t learn to bake bread
They said accept the facts
They told you don’t talk back!
Without them you can’t learn anything
That’s what they want you to feel and think
In fact you taught yourself everything
Look at the way you began:
Did someone teach you to crawl?
Did someone teach you to walk?
Did someone teach you to talk?
Did someone teach you to think?
Close down the schools x 3
Throw them away.
Exercise your mind and your body will follow
Exercise your body and your mind will follow
(Exercise is good for you - come on, hold to, hold to…)
