Lay me down with what you’ve learned. Did they show you how to earn?
Can you tell your teachers from your family?
[Family] is hard to stand. I can be a better man
It helps to turn a back on everyone
But it’s still hard to stay
Wait tomorrow, yesterday I could tell my future
From the past (which on I’ve come to dwell)
Faces now I know so well, safe from the destruction
They tell all who are left here to hear:
“Let it grow another year”
Names so simple, but they still forget
Of course, a pain to care
Mouths that hide behind their hair
Feeding as demanded by their crime
