has taught me some strange arithmetic
Using swords, prison bars,
English is the art of bombing towns
While assuring that you really
Science is that honorable, useful study
Where you contort the molecules
and then you make that money
dead children don't get added
But they count the cost of bullets comin
need to tell us how to flip
Eco nomics is the symphony
Mortar shells often echo out
In Geography class, it's borders,
But they will never show the line
between the takers and givers
Algebra is that unique occasion
In which a school can say that there
should be a balanced equation
the tool of the complicit
To say everybody's with it and that you're the only critic
Social Studies, the goliath to tackle
Which turns into a sermon on
Physics is to school you on
'Cept for how to break the hell out the ghetto,
Home Ec can teach you how
If your school won't show you how
to fight for what's needed
Then they're training you to go through life and get cheated
